The Quarter Horse is fastest for sprints. They race a quarter-mile. Thoroughbreds are fastest for anything longer than that. Arabians are best for endurance. The fastest mile for a horse was around 1 minute, 35 seconds. This record was set by the TB racehorse Salvador.

It was a horse, I think...
The Quarter Horse is the fastest horse in the world, for a quarter of a mile. The Thoroughbred, most often used in horse racing, has more endurance for an entire mile, but still cannot beat the Quarter Horse in a quarter-of-a-mile race. Hence the name 'Quarter Horse'. This is exactly what you want in a horse when you are working cattle - short bursts of extraordinary speed.

I believe it's called the American Quarter Horse. Its name comes from the fact that it can easily outdistance other horses in races of a quarter mile or less, even from a standing start. Some individuals have been clocked at 55 miles per hour.
The Quarter Horse has been clocked at 55mph and is the fastest horse over short distances.
Secretariat is a horse.His breed: thoroughbred. The only horse that's allowed on the race track. Clueless I once was to know the American Quarter Horse is the fastest horse ever, clocked up to 65 MPH.
Tobiano, being a color pattern, matters not on the speed of a horse. A Paint is derived from the Quarter Horse. At best, the fastest run given by a Quarter Horse at a quarter mile race was 55 mph. Although, this is the clocked speed from a race horse with impeccable conformation and breeding for speed. But an average horse at a full gallop typically has a speed of 35 mph.
