Horse racing should not be confused with equestrian (Olympic partly) whose best-known disciplines are jumping, dressage and eventing. Some disciplines of equestrian sport nevertheless relate to race, such as endurance riding. --- Since antiquity, the equestrian sport is popular recreation. In Greece, racing harness are installed or used, while in Rome, people much prefer the harness racing: the famous chariot races. Horse racing in the West fall into disuse with the rise of Christianity, but last until the end of the twelfth century century Byzantium. The kings of France and England fight over the paternity of the renovation of horseracing in the seventeenth century the century, but it seems that Louis XIV takes the rope [ref. necessary]. The racetracks are increasing in the eighteenth and nineteenth century horse racing is clearly the most watched sports during this period on both sides of the Channel. The trotting races are practiced in France since 1835. That year, in fact, an order authorizing the organization of races in Nantes and these occur in the plain of Plée, near Route de Clisson. A racetrack is then implanted on the marshland. The following year, the first Norman race takes place September 25, 1836 on the beach at Cabourg. Given the success, the Hippodrome de la Prairie (Caen) receives the first trotting race meetings on 26 and 27 August 1837. This formula extends to progressively lower Normandy in the 1840s and then to the whole of France. The first trotting races in the Ile-de-France held in 1878 at the Hippodrome de Maisons-Laffitte. Since then, the Hippodrome de Vincennes offers trotting races and became the "temple of the trot" 1. After the Second World War, the world of flat racing is changing with the development of important races thoroughbreds in the United States, Japan, Hong Kong and Dubai. For its part, the world's trotting remains essentially focused on Europe, with France, Sweden and Italy as strongholds, and the United States and Canada for the Americas. --- The driver sits in a sulky pulled by horses. The horse must trot as fast as possible to reach the finish line first, but he shall in no case be put to the gallop, on pain of disqualification. The departure is taken in two ways: either behind the autostart, either by a flip. The autostart is a car with the back of two gates (one left and one right of the vehicle). Of these barriers, there are the numbers of horses, which should position themselves behind. The No. 1 is the rope, the No. 9 outside, and the numbers 10 through 18 are placed on a second line. The No. 1 has a shorter path, but may be locked by the other competitors, while No. 18 has the double disadvantage of being a second-line and off, which requires him to exercise maximum. The autostart is running at reduced speed, and when all the horses are turned and trotted behind him, he speeds for free and start the race as well. The flip is a French specificity. Competitors have no place assigned in advance, and drivers must start synchronously. The principle is to start at right angles to the runway, and believes that when everyone is in place, we do make a quarter turn to the horse to run on the track. Commissioners launch countdown and ensure the regularity of flights, aided by laser beams. If the beam is turned off prematurely, it is a false start. In France, since the spring of 2008, the author of a false start is penalized by an obligation to leave behind a competitor. If not running, he is disqualified. Tests of trotting's most prestigious are classified in Group I. This is particularly true of America Award (France), the Elitloppet (Sweden) and the Hambletonian (U.S.), three of the most famous races in the world. Then there are the tests of Group II (Price of Washington, for example) and those of Group III, as the Geneva Prize. There are many other races, but the level does not allow them to have the status of race group. This status is reviewed annually, and some races from time to time, win or lose a level in the hierarchy. -> Site for John Paul Magnier |
