Horse racing is an equestrian sport that has a very long history. Some records indicate that mounted horse riding events were actually in the Greek Olympics in 648 BC. Attending the horse races can be a nice family event as well as a date idea. Most tracks have clubhouses that serve food and you can bring your binoculars to see the race just like you see in movies. Besides the clubhouse, there is also grand-stand seating where you can enjoy concession-style food and walk near the track to see the horses up close as they are brought out to show. Now, you do not have to gamble at these events and can simply enjoy the show; however, they have bidding as low as $2. Most people never think about the races until the Kentucky Derby, but there is a road to the Kentucky derby filled with those horses, (or should I say horse owners) that can only dream of joining the elite as a triple threat some day.
