Horse racing in the US is big business. It's not just about the amount of money that the sportsbooks take in for major horse racers. But a huge amount of cash flows between the owners, trainers, and racetracks. However, at the end of the day, everything comes down to the racing quality of the horses themselves. Within the industry, there are a number of special races which are designed to separate the wheat from the chaff when it comes to finding potential high earning horses.

First things first, this article will be about US horse racing as opposed to any other continent. The US has certain ways of doing things that we Europeans, for example, have no hope of understanding the why or the what. If you're in the US, then you've probably heard of the famous horse races like the Kentucky Derby and the Breeders' Cup. But there's a lot more horse racing going on than at the very top end. All horses will need to start on the bottom rung of the ladder and slowly work their way upwards.
