Horse-racing is an ancient sport and packed with excitement and exhilaration; they can be traced back to classical Greek and Roman times. These events are the epitome of sophistication, pride, traditional conventions and embody a party atmosphere. The audience cheers both the horses and the jockeys as they strive to reach the finish line in unison. While there are a lot of tracks around the world, but only a select few can be deemed to be the best in terms of size, luxury amenities available and quality of tracks provided; these are the tracks that host some of the most popular horse races in the world like the Royal Ascot and the Kentucky Derby.
