Thursday Morning Riddle

I’m a basketball game where you’re calling your shot;
I’m worth something in trade and — to Richard — a lot;
I’m the measure of power your vehicle’s got;
And equipment for vaults, fit with handles or not.

Who am I?

UPDATE: Riddle solved by Asher. See comments for answer.

    Horse

    It’s HORSE, of course. Way to go, Asher!

    Line 1: H-O-R-S-E
    Line 2: Horse trade, “My kingdom for a horse”
    Line 3: Horsepower
    Line 4: Pommel horse, Vaulting horse

    The first draft had this line:

    I can race at the track in a gallop or trot

    I cut it because I thought it made the answer too obvious.
