Flat Racing

Flat racing is a type of horse racing that takes place on a level, straight or oval track without any obstacles or jumps. The goal is for horses to complete the distance as quickly as possible, guided by jockeys. Races vary in length, typically ranging from about five furlongs (roughly 1 mile) to two miles, and are held on turf or dirt surfaces. Flat racing emphasizes speed, stamina, and strategy, making it a popular and straightforward form of horse racing enjoyed worldwide.
