'''Winged horse racing''' is the racing of [[winged horse|winged horses]]. There are four breeds of winged horses: [[Abraxan]], [[Aethonan]], [[Granian]], [[Thestral]]. The most likely horses used for racing are probably Abraxan (noted for their strength), Granian (noted for their speed) and Aethonan. Thestrals would be notoriously difficult to race, as the racer is required to have witnessed a death to be able to see Thestrals. This would put the racer at a huge advantage and would be extremely difficult to control the horse. However, it is not unheard of for people who haven't witnessed a death to ride Thestrals.

It is unknown whether there are individual races for each breed, or if there are just general winged horse races open to all breeds, however the former is most likely as Granians are famous for their speed and would put the other participants at a disadvantage.
