The fastest time by a three year old throughbred running a mile and one quarter was set at Hollywood Park in 1972 by a horsenamed Quack in the Hollywood Gold Cup. His time of one minute fifty-eight and one fifth of a second also equaled the existing world record set by the great throughbred Noor at Golden Gate fields. It has been answered that a horse named JO Tobin who defeated Seattle Slew at Hollywood Park in 1977 set the record by a three year old , but this is incorrect.
Yes, Quack has the 3yo record and all time is Spectacular Bid. He ran the fastest 1 1/4. Running a time of 1:57.4.
