Give And Take Race - an attempt to introduce a new concept to the racecourse in the late 18th century. The premise was that horses should carry different weights according to their size.

The idea didn't last long, such contests being abandoned after only a few years.

Yachting - several racing metaphors come from the world of yachting or other maritime pursuits.

Horses sometimes come down the outside of the field with a wet sail while others tack over to the far side. If a rider reaches for the whip he, or the horse, is said to be sending out distress signals.

I'm sure there are others but I can't recall them right now.
