Weight
A horse’s weight can have a significant effect on its racing performance.
The weight of a racehorse is one of the most important factors in determining its fitness for racing. A horse’s weight affects its speed and stamina, and can also affect the distance it can travel before tiring. The ideal weight for a horse is between 600 and 800 pounds (270-360 kg).
Horse racing is an equestrian sport that has been around since antiquity and may date back to 3000 BC, making it one of the oldest sports.
Age
The age of the horse is one of the many factors that can affect a race.
Horses are generally considered to be in their prime between the ages of five and ten.
Horses over ten years old are considered to be too old. They can no longer perform at their best because they have slowed down and become less agile.
The racehorse named Old Roan is the oldest horse to win a horse racing. The racehorse was born in 1884 and won his first race in 1887.
