THE SPORT OF KINGS in the PALM BEACHES
Horseracing has various forms, of which thoroughbred racing is the most popular and has been termed as “The Sport of Kings”. Horses have remained a symbol of great wealth. This has always been popular with the aristocrats and royalty of British society, thusly earning the title. Historically, records indicate that horseracing began as early as the days of Babylon, Syria, and Egypt. Both chariot and mounted horses participated in the ancient Greek Olympics 648 B.C. Various types of racing have given rise to horse breeds that excel in specific disciplines of equestrian sports.
