Horse racing in 1772 Virginia was a local, informal activity primarily among wealthy landowners and plantation owners, often held on makeshift tracks and linked to social events. In contrast, 21st-century horse racing is a highly organized global industry, featuring sophisticated tracks, advanced breeding techniques, and extensive betting systems. Modern racing includes major events like the Kentucky Derby, supported by large-scale media coverage and sponsorship deals, while also addressing animal welfare concerns and evolving regulations. The cultural significance has shifted from a local pastime to a major entertainment spectacle.
