Meaning of Gallop races

Gallop races discipline of equestrian sport, speed race named after the fastest gait of the horse, the gallop. Gallop races are usually run by thoroughbreds, the highest bred, and fastest racehorse (the blood content relative to the horse‟s weight is higher than in other horses). One purpose of the race is to determine the feasability of the horse‟s breeding possibilities. Therefore only stallions and mares, but not geldings (castrated stallions), are permitted to start in these races. The horses are ridden by amateur and professional jockeys who are usually of small and light stature in order to keep the total weight to be carried by the horse as low as possible. Gallop races are held as flat races over level courses with no obstacles with distances varying between 1,000 and 4,800 m and as obstacle races, either in form of a hurdle race (across moveable obstacles) or steeplechase (across fixed obstacles) over distances between 2,800 and 6,800 m. The minimum weight to be carried by a horse including rider and saddle is 47 kg for flat races and 57 kg for obstacle races. (H.Haag &g. Haag, dictionary, 2003, 209p.)
