No worries of an unfair advantage; nope, no worries … except for the horse! Chariot races are speed and endurance events and if that poor muscle-bound horse tries to run more than a quarter mile he’ll collapse. Now, if it were a pulling contest, he’d be a sure win.
With that physique, I don’t know that the horse is really suited for long distance races. Sprints, maybe. Or he could just intimidate the other horses into slowing down.
This strip is actually very topical. Yesterday the Kentucky Derby announced a ban on Lasix™, a drug that reduces pulmonary bleeding and causes temporary weight loss in horses, thus increasing their running speed.

They’d need performance drugs to hang onto those reins with no traces to hitch the horse to the chariot

No, he has just got more horse power under the hood than the other cars (carts). Well, to be more accurate, more horsepower at the front of the reins.
