The racing industry breeds, trains, and manages animals for competitive speed events organised for gambling, entertainment, and commercial revenue. Animals are selectively bred for performance traits and subjected to intensive training, transport, and competition schedules within regulated sporting systems.
While practices vary by species and geography, the underlying structure remains consistent: animals are treated as athletic assets whose value is determined by performance, breeding potential, and wagering markets.
