Thoroughbred training involves preparing racehorses for competition through a structured regimen. Trainers focus on building the horse's strength, speed, and endurance, often using a combination of gallops, sprints, and long-distance workouts. Proper nutrition and care are also essential to maintain the horse's health and performance. In addition to physical training, thoroughbreds undergo mental conditioning to help them handle the stress of racing. This includes exposure to different environments and experiences, such as starting gates and crowds. The goal is to create a well-rounded athlete ready for events like the {Kentucky Derby} or other major races.
