Anotations

Scope note:

The practice or sport of running horses in competitions of speed, in which the horse that finishes first is the winner; horses usually carry a rider astride or are pulling a conveyance with a driver. The sport is ancient, certainly predating its documentation in both four-hitch chariot and mounted (bareback) races held in the Olympic Games of Greece beginning ca. 700 BCE.
