"mysql join multiple rows as columns" Code Answer

An INNER JOIN will suffice your needs. MySQL has no PIVOT function by you can still simulate it using CASE and MAX() function.

SELECT  a.ID, a.NAME,
        MAX(CASE WHEN b.Race_Number = 1 THEN b.Place ELSE NULL END) Race1,
        MAX(CASE WHEN b.Race_Number = 2 THEN b.Place ELSE NULL END) Race2,
        MAX(CASE WHEN b.Race_Number = 3 THEN b.Place ELSE NULL END) Race3
FROM    Table1 a
        INNER JOIN Table2 b
            ON a.ID = b.ID
GROUP   BY a.ID, a.Name

But if you have unknown number of RACE, then a DYNAMIC SQL is much more preferred.

SET @sql = NULL;
SELECT
    GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT
    CONCAT('MAX(CASE WHEN b.Race_Number = ', Race_Number,
      ' THEN b.Place END) AS ', CONCAT('`Race', Race_Number, '`'))
    ) INTO @sql
FROM Table2;

SET @sql = CONCAT('SELECT s.Student_name, ', @sql, ' 
                   FROM Table1 a
                   LEFT JOIN Table2 b 
                        ON ON a.ID = b.ID
                   GROUP   BY a.ID, a.Name');

PREPARE stmt FROM @sql;
EXECUTE stmt;
DEALLOCATE PREPARE stmt;
