Most racehorse ownerships are registered as partnerships and sole owners. Around 60 percent of the roughly 10,000 races held annually are flat races, and the rest are classified as jump races. Of horses in training, roughly half are five years or older, and the other half four years or younger. The average amount of prize money per horse race tends to be slightly higher in flat races than in jump races.
