Fratres,
My family bred, raised and raced thoroughbred horses from the mid 1960's till the mid 1990's. My brothers rode for a long time at
Fair Grounds and Belmont Park. I know the romans had chariot races, but was wondering if they had races as we do today? Just horse and jockey? If so, was there betting on those races like we have today? Were there big races like now (Kentucky Derby & Breeders Cup)? Would like to know. I love horses and racing!
