The answer is makibi Diva won Melbourne cup 3 times in a row
I don't believe that is the case. Yes she won 3 Melbourne Cups but does that mean she is the fastest? I don't think so. I think it might be either Man O' War or Secretariat. But Secretariat did win the Belmont Stakes in record time but I don't think there is any record of the fastest horse. Even if there was we would believe differently
The fastest horse ever recorded was Big Racked, who reached 43.26 MPH in a quarter mile race in Mexico City, Mexico.
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.

It was a horse, I think...
Secretariat.
The average running speed of a racehorse is around 30-40 miles per hour during a race, with top speeds reaching up to 45 miles per hour. Their speed can vary depending on the distance of the race and the horse's breed and training.
Some of the fastest racehorses in history include Secretariat, who holds the record for the fastest time in the Kentucky Derby. Other notable fast racehorses include Man o' War, Frankel, and American Pharoah, all known for their exceptional speed and performances on the racetrack.
A gallop
Depends on how far the race is? A Cheetah is built for speed over a short distance - several hundred metres, where it will be faster than a horse. The horse is able to maintain a brisk pace over a much longer distance and the cheetah could not maintain the horse's speed over a longer distance!
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.
The car with the fastest speed will win the race.
The fastest recorded speed for a horse is 55 mph, achieved by an American Quarter Horse named Winning Brew in 2008. However, the average top speed for most horses is around 30-40 mph.
