Horse racing in America is counter clockwise on an oval track, mostly on dirt (or artificial dirt) and also on turf. The courses vary more in Australia and Europe, often clockwise or part so and mostly on turf.

Horse racing what is illegal information?

Well illegal horse racing is when an owner buys a number of horses that look the same such as two or three slow bay horses that are around the same height and have similar markings to one fast bay. Then they'll claim all the horses to be just the one, the fast one. Next they'll race the slow horses to bring the odds down. Then race the fast one to make fat cash. After that is when they sell the horses claiming not to know anything about the horses racing career which would be the illegal information. Once the horse is sold it's not they're problem but they even go to the extremity to blur the tattoo under the horses lip so that you can't read what it was.

Why did the romans use horses?

The Romans use horses for riding and racing. They also used them for the cavalry in battles and for messengers. They used them for racing because they were fast moving animals; the same reasoning applied to the military. Remember that the Romans did not use horses for pack animals or for harness work. Ox carts moved heavy equipment and goods, and mules were used as pack animals.
