English translation
2579. It was reported from Az-Zuhri, from Sa'eed bin Al-Musayyab, from Abū Hurairah, from the Prophet ﷺ, who said: "Whoever enters a horse (in a race) between two other horses — meaning not knowing whether it will win — then that is not gambling. But whoever enters a horse (in a race) between two other horses, and he is certain that it will win, then that is gambling." (Da'if)
