The Pony Racing Authority might be a good place to start.

I know two girls who pony race - quite rightly they have to complete some minimum training requirements before they are allowed to enter a race and it's very strictly monitored and governed. The Pony Club has clear guidance here: https://pcuk.org/pony-racing/

Read the link I added above - you can't just enter something and race. You have to go via the Pony Club or Pony Racing Authority and complete training beforehand, walk the course with an instructor etc etc.

OP, I know you are young, you sound very keen 
Having looked at your previous posts, I'd advise you carry on with lessons till you are able to canter independently - in an arena and out hacking too.
Then start thinking of a loan pony once you have more experience chalked up.
Why not see if you can go and watch pony racing? You'll find that there are pretty experienced teens (and junior schoolers) riding in them.
Good luck

I have learnt to canter independently so I am happy 
I will ask my parents to take me to watch some pony racing and next year I want to go back to ascot because if you haven't been it is amazing (and quite fancy lots of ladies in amazing dresses and big hats)
