Thoroughbred racing in the US is quite a dynamic sport. It combines the prowess of both the horse and the jockey, and culminates in the horse race. It takes time and lots of money to participate in this sport, and there is nothing more beautiful than seeing these animals at a horse racing event. Horse racing has always been a rich man's sport, and it's no wonder. Thoroughbred racing horses start well over $100,000 to buy, and the space to keep them, train them, and feed them does not come cheap.

There is nothing more exciting than following the horses that make it the big horse racing events across the US. It has been 30 years since any horse has won the Triple Crown, which requires that the thoroughbred wins the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness, and the Belmont. A few years ago, the incredible thoroughbred racing horse, Barbaro, was favored to win it, but had a tragic accident that cost him his life. It was a national tragedy in horse racing and with the animal loving public, but it is one of the risks of horse racing.
