The Kentucky Derby has 20 horses. But yeah, it's different from race to race. It's rare that there is more than 20 horses, but it happens. Usually 10-20, but sometimes only 2. But the Grand National has 40 horses.

Horse racing has often been called the "sport of kings". For as long as people have domesticated horses, it has been a sport. It is enjoyed by those who bet on the races and by the those who do not.

When two or more horses race each other or when the news media comments on the standings of the candidates in a political race (as though it were a horse race).

This could literally be race with only three horses or more likely a race where there are three contenders who are considered the most likely to win.

On a horse docket of 3 horses if one wins do you win?

If I understand your question correctly, if only three horses race, would you win no matter what? You would only win if you bet on the winning horse to "win." When you bet on a horse race, you also bet on what position that horse finishes. You may bet on a horse to "win, place, or show" or all three (each bet costs more money). If the horse comes in first, second, or third, and you bet all three, you would still get a payout. There are numerous combinations to wagering, Exactas, Trifectas, etc. and even in a three horse race, if you didn't bet correctly, or on the right horse, you could still lose.
