Initially, the race was a simple match between the royal families and nobles in the 16th century. This race was called the `Sports of Kings.` However, the horses were no longer used for transportation in the modern society. So people just enjoyed the race visually and called the race `Spectator Sports`.
In addition, they called it as `Blood Sports,` because of the production of premium species of horses. People using only objective information guessed the horse`s victory, so that they called it `Cerebral Sports.`
