In a horse race, the actual time horses run on the track is very short. Sixteen hundred meters is considered a long-distance race, and within just over a minute, the horses, exerting all their strength, finish the race.

However, the galloping and competition of the horses on the track is merely the 'climax' of the race. Horse racing is like certain affairs that require ample foreplay and a clean conclusion in order for the climax to be truly exhilarating and carefree… The race commentator's introduction of the horses, the audience's evaluation of the horses, the betting—all of these are preliminaries to the event. Afterward comes the award ceremony, the public display of the amounts won, the analysis of the race, and a whole host of issues before and after the event. In reality, a horse race takes quite some time.
