Horses are animals that embody all the wonderful things that make up life itself, both good and bad. They are incredibly beautiful, they literally ooze power, they much stronger than humans. After all, do you think the term horsepower was coined because they were rather wimpy and waifish animals that were just slightly stronger than a human being, or many human beings put together? Speed is also something we love about horses. They can run at a top speed of 40 mile per, not as fast as, say, a cheetah, but then again, cheetah's are not domesticated. As strong and fast as they are, horses are also very fragile for their size, and race horses have to be cared for constantly to keep them healthy enough to race in top form. One of the ways a typical horse racing fan takes the plunge and gives in to their passions is to either collect or take their own pictures of race horses with a camera. Some even take to the canvas and paint portraits of horses in various states of existence, from grazing in a pasture, catching a few rays in the sun, or in full flight while running in a race. This site has many great pictures for you to take a look at, and the great thing is, you can have them for yourself as long as their use is non-commercial!

Below you will find some samples of great race horse pictures and horse race videos. Although some of these race horses may not be world famous or champion race horses, some of them are truly magnificent to watch while they're racing. You'll notice in our collection of horse pictures and horse videos that you will see some champion race horses. Pay particular attention to the champion race horse's gait or movement. They say you can determine a champion race horse by looking in his eyes. These race horses will show expressions of strength and dominance. Thoroughbred race horses are the fastest breed of horses. Horse racing requires these magnificent animals to carry weights, including the jockey, and in some cases above 130 pounds at speeds of approximately 40 miles per hour.

You'll find free horse racing video on horses competing in the Preakness Stakes, the second leg of the Triple Crown taking place at Pimlico Racetrack each year two weeks after the Kentucky Derby. You'll find free horse racing pictures and great horse racing video on some of the greatest champion race horses of all time in the Belmont Stakes, the third leg of the Triple Crown that following three weeks after the Preakness Stakes. Although the Kentucky Derby is the premier horse racing event, it is the Belmont Stakes that decides if there will be a Triple Crown winner. (A Triple Crown winner is a horse that has won all three major horse racing events for that calendar year including the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs, the Preakness at Pimlico Race Course, and the Belmont Stakes at Belmont Park.)
