This might be the sort of thing the race is based on.
“But for even longer rides, famed explorer Marco Polo said things took a turn for the darker. See, the horsemen would get almost no sustenance from eating grass. It passes through the human digestion system while leaving almost no calories or nutrients behind.
But horses can eat grass just fine; it’s one of their primary foods. And so, in a pinch, the Mongols would cut a vein in their horse’s necks at the end of every day, taking a few swallows of blood that the horse could easily replace. It wasn’t much, but it allowed them to cross the grasses to the west and hit Russia and additional empires.”

“”Riders change horses every 25 miles, which amounts to 25 horses for the entire race. They can only ride for 11 hours a day, or they incur penalties that affect their time and place in the highly competitive 10-day endurance race.””
Are you sure that’s not from a vampire movie?
