Secretariat's first race was on July 4, 1972 at Aqueduct Racetrack. He finished fourth, beaten 1.25 lengths. To be fair, he was impeded at the start. After that race, he won five races in a row, including three important two-year-old stakes races.
Blazing Hearts is a fantastic race horse, in Australia, he won his first start! He is up and coming so watch out for his future races!
Jimmie Johnson won his first Nascar Cup Series race in his 13th career start.
The Romans absorbed chariot racing from the Etruscans and quite possibly from the Greeks in southern Italy. Those two ethnic groups are known to have had chariot races and it was the first Tarquin king of Rome (who was said to be Etruscan although this is being questioned) established the outline for the Circus Maximus. Where/when the races actually began before the Romans participated is shrouded in time.
