From its origins in 4500 BC among central Asian nomads to the ancient Greek and Roman empires to the Arab world, it eventually became known as the sport of kings, especially in England. They discovered it in the 12th century around the time of the Crusades, but it was not until the 16th century and the reign of Queen Anne that it became a professional sport, with the foundation of the Jockey Club in 1750. It became extremely popular in the United States in the late 19th century starting after the end of the Civil War. Over the years, horse racing has been integral to the story lines of numerous classic movies from Hollywood, including National Velvet, Auntie Mame, and My Fair Lady; it has also been a major part of more recent films such as Hidalgo and Seabiscuit.
