I think mashing space messes with every horse's speed, making some even go backwards. This stays after restart. Otherwise I think it's an interesting risk/reward, I feel greedier on each try

The race itself seems a bit random (with horses going backwards?), It would be nice to have to find a balance between racing and scoring points. Right now the feedback for your score is missing, also showing the score of the other racers might add some value to the score. Maybe also add a highscore system.
