Abu Lubaid Lamazah bin Zubaar says: During the time of Hajjaj, there was a horse race. We said: It would be better if we reached the place of the competition. When we reached that place, we thought that if we went to Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked him whether, in the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), people used to set conditions for giving prizes, so we went to him and asked him this question. He said: Yes, I myself competed on a horse named Sabhah, and when I surpassed the people, I was pleased and this thing amazed me.
Hadith 5164
عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ الْعَضْبَاءَ كَانَتْ لَا تُسْبَقُ فَجَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ عَلَى قَعُودٍ لَهُ فَسَابَقَهَا فَسَبَقَهَا الْأَعْرَابِيُّ فَكَأَنَّ ذَلِكَ اشْتَدَّ عَلَى أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ حَقًّا عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنْ لَا يَرْفَعَ شَيْئًا مِنْ هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا وَضَعَهُ
