Do you have recommendations for fantasy chase music

I'm using Syrinscape to have background music for my games. This coming Sunday the party (four paladins, no joke) will be competing in a joust. While I've got some fine tracks for the actual jousting, I wanted to have a horse race beforehand to determine seeding in the bracket. Do you have suggestions for some music tracks that would work well for a fantasy horse race?

Reading your title, I almost felt compelled to say Benny Hill! :D

For an actual horse race... you could use the first two minutes of "to die for" from TLK score for a very dramatic race https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCO8l2CaZaA With a bit of editing, you could loop the earlier "chasey" sections.

For a more roman circus like race, maybe the final race from Hidalgo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6hXrO1cpqU
Or the uplifting "Spirit" tracks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sJVm6VD9J8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wl27s5bTzkk
 

The track "Hellhounds" from The Chronicles of Riddick soundtrack, or the "Beggar's Canyon Chase" from Star Wars Shadows of the Empire.
 

My vote would be some of the tracks from the Assassin's Creed 2 soundtrack. The William Tell Overture might be a little too on the nose, but it'd certainly work.
 

For a horse race? Nothing better than this:

It was actually used in the film itself (apart from title sequence, of course) as the background for when the party rides the Fire Mares.

P.S.: Start the track at 35 seconds if you want to avoid the ominous beginning.

You know what, just use the damn Fire Mares music, no editing necessary :lol:
