Well, any horse who has been holding it for a while can give you a very impressive and lengthy pee when they finally decide to go. Apricot doesn't like to pee when she's saddled, and most horses don't like to pee on surfaces that will splash back, so they'll wait until they're in their stall or the field and go, go, go.
Race horses specifically? A lot of them are given Lasix before they run. It's a drug that keeps them from bursting blood vessels in their lungs while they run. A lot of horses bleed from the nose when they race if they aren't given Lasix, which is horrifying looking and also slows them down (though it isn't as painful as you might guess to see a horse with a bloody nose). It's also a diuretic, so that usual long horse pee gets even longer when a diuretic is involved.
