Thoroughbred horse racing is something which most of us have some familiarity with, largely thanks to the three biggest Thoroughbred horse races being televised each year. These three are the Preakness, the Belmont Stakes and the Kentucky Derby, collectively known as the Thoroughbred Triple Crown.

All three of the Triple Crown races are run on a flat dirt track. The horses tend to pace themselves through most of the race, saving a surge of power and speed for the finish. There have also been cases of horses with so much speed that they win the race from start to finish.

Spectators are often unaware that there are in fact other forms or Thoroughbred racing out there other than what is familiar to us all via our television sets. The Triple Crown is the most popular Thoroughbred horse racing event by far, but there are many others.

Your new dog has many stresses in his life when you first introduce him into your household. Continue with the diet he is accustomed to and then gradually change him to the food you prefer by feeding him a 50/50 solution of his previous and new foods after the first week. Increase the new food to 75 percent and if he tolerates this well, eventually move him completely into the new diet. Be sure to check ingredient labels and if you have questions, please contact your veterinarian or breeder. An additional tip is that dry food will does assist your dog in cleaning his teeth, but you may add a little wet food to his dry solution if you prefer.

Fresh water is a necessity for your new best friend. Make sure he receives several bowls of fresh, clean water daily. Stainless bowls are a good choice here because they are easy to clean thoroughly and keep sanitary. As for placement of the bowl, avoid direct sunlight. The sun can heat the water to more than 100 degrees very rapidly and no one likes drinking hot water — not even your little guy.
