Racing authorities are organizations responsible for overseeing and regulating various types of racing, including horse racing, auto racing, and motorcycle racing. They ensure that races are conducted fairly and safely, setting rules and standards for participants, tracks, and equipment. These authorities also handle licensing for drivers, trainers, and horses, as well as enforcing penalties for rule violations. In addition to regulation, racing authorities often promote the sport and work to enhance its integrity. They may organize events, manage betting systems, and collaborate with other organizations to improve safety measures. Their goal is to maintain a level playing field and protect the interests of all stakeholders involved in racing.
