Racehorses are a type of horse bred for the purpose of competing in races, and are typically thoroughbreds, which have been selectively bred to improve their speed and endurance over long distances, and are be used for many different types of racing, including flat racing, steeplechasing, harness racing, and more. Racehorses must be trained to perform at their best in order to win races and includes conditioning them physically as well as teaching them how to respond to commands from their jockeys during the race. Racehorse owners often spend a great deal of money on training and care for their horses in order to ensure they have the best chance of success in competition. The rewards for successful racehorse owners can be great; some horses have even become millionaires due to winning major races such as the Kentucky Derby or Grand National.
