Horse racing is a competitive equestrian sporting performance sport, usually involving at least two horses or more ridden by professional jockeys for competition in a race course. The horse racing game involves betting and wagering on the outcome of the race, with the eventual outcome determined by the skills of the rider and the horse in a particular race. One of the most famous and well-loved horse racing games is the Tour de France. With a history that goes back hundreds of years, this game attracts people from all walks of life because it is a fun and exciting sport.

There are many definitions of the Tour de France but it basically consists of a single race over a specific course. It has been referred to as the ultimate test of human endurance, inspiration and skill. It actually began as a way of testing the abilities of French citizens to be able to cross the English Channel. In the early days of the game, there were not many obstacles to get the French participants across the Channel without their horse failing or breaking down. Thus, the idea was to see if any of the competitors could come close enough to the end of the racecourse to complete the course without any failures, or to get to the starting line and finish first, regardless of the time.

Due to its status as one of the most prestigious sports, there are several authorized races for those who wish to participate in the Tour de France. Some of the authorized races are the Amateurs’ Tour de France and the Professional’s Tour de France. The Amateurs’ route begins and ends at the Chateau de Versailles. It includes only flat courses for the horses and other than that, the routes are similar to those of other regular road races. The other one is the Professionals’ route which usually includes hilly courses with short but steep climbs.

Another interesting type of this horseracing event is the trot. This is the fastest form of the entire race where the horse will lead the race from the beginning to the finish. However, the horse has to follow the leader until the end of the race. When the horse reaches the starting line and the race commences, the horse has to go around the jockey in order to take a trot and then another before it crosses the line. The distance covered in the trot varies according to the type of the race.

The horses who do not win the race have another option to try out. They can choose between the two most common types of harness races. The Standardbred has to go around the outside from the start to the end of the race. On the other hand, the Specialized Tractor has to follow the lead of the handler and cross the starting line on the inside of the track. In either case, the horses have the same disadvantage – the handlers can attack them anytime and the horses have no protection from other runners other than the striped flag. This makes the sulky race an interesting one for many riders.

There are also four primary classifications in horse racing. These include the Thoroughbred, the Quarter Horse, the Practiced Hound and the Standardbred. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages according to the size and physical characteristics. Thoroughbreds are generally considered to be the faster and easier to manage while the quarter horses have longer chances of winning because they are faster but suffer from numerous ailments. The Standardbred, however, is the most commonly used horse in many different types of horse races because it is the most versatile in terms of being trained. Most importantly, though, the Thoroughbred is the favorite in many different types of horse races.
