The sport of Kings is much more than just the race itself, but it is a major enterprise that spans across the world. Besides the jockey, the horse owners, the bettors at the tracks, there are also scientists behind generations of horse racing breeding. Horse studs with pedigrees, the horses that have won races in the past, become the parents of new champions everyday. Animal husbandry is an important aspect of the horse racing industry and will continue to be so for as long as the sport exists.
