American horse racing dates back to 1665 when the Newmarket track was established on Long Island, New York. The sport has been popular ever since. The colorful silks of the jockeys and the strength and beauty of the racehorse make Thoroughbred racing an exciting sport, rich in history and tradition. "Field of Dreams" represents The Black, The Bay, The Dun and The Dapple Grey, four handsomely colored and equally matched horses, all in hot pursuit of victory.
The thoroughbred horse is the premier racing horse of the world, known for its incredible speed, heart and agility. All thoroughbreds are descended from three Middle Eastern stallions - the Byerley Turk, the Darley Arabian and the Godolphin Arabian - that were imported to England in the late 17th and early 18th centuries and used to improve native racing breeds. Today the thoroughbred is most commonly used for track racing, but is also excellent in other competitive equine sports, such as dressage, jumping and polo. |
