The stake horse races are the races that are held on an annual basis and have a very large purse as prize money. Handicap horse races are the races in which the weights of the jockeys are equalized by using lead weights. The weight that is carried by the horse is considered very important in such type of horse races. The claiming types of horse races are the races, which are the most commonly used horse race types. Every horse in this type of horse race is enrolled at a specific price and is allowed to be purchased or even claimed by other owners. The allowances type of horse races is essentially the non claiming type of race. The maiden horse races are conducted for the horses that have never entered in a race before.
