Sahih Muslim 1870a (Book 33, Hadith 139) #11949
Racing Horses with the Prophet

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) had a race of horses from one place to another and Ibn Umar was among the participants.

It has been narrated on the authority of Ibn 'Umar that the Messenger of Allah had a race of the horses which had been especially prepared for the purpose from Hafya' to Thaniyyat Al-Wada' (the latter being the winning post), and of those which had not been trained from ____Thaniyyat____ to the mosque of Banu Zuraiq, and Ibn Umar was among those who took part in this race.
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى التَّمِيمِيُّ، قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، ‏.‏ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ سَابَقَ بِالْخَيْلِ الَّتِي قَدْ أُضْمِرَتْ مِنَ الْحَفْيَاءِ وَكَانَ أَمَدُهَا ثَنِيَّةَ الْوَدَاعِ وَسَابَقَ بَيْنَ الْخَيْلِ الَّتِي لَمْ تُضْمَرْ مِنَ الثَّنِيَّةِ إِلَى مَسْجِدِ بَنِي زُرَيْقٍ وَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ فِيمَنْ سَابَقَ بِهَا
