Racing occurs virtually every day of the year, save for Christmas--and there may be a track somewhere that runs on Christmas too! The southern circuits (Florida, Louisiana, So. California) run more during the winter, but New York still has winter meets at Aqueduct in NYC and West Virginia and Kentucky also run during the winter months.
Some specific tracks--I'm thinking of Mountaineer Park in Chester, WV in particular, race year around with one or two days per week "dark" (i.e. there is no racing).
Depends on the length of the race and the quality of the horses. Most races last anywhere from 1 to 2 minutes.

Why are horses sometimes raced before they are old enough?
In horse racing, a horse's birthday is officially classed as the 1st of January each year. So, if a horse is born in September 1988, for example, it will be 1 year old in September 1989. But in racing terms it will turn 1 year old in January 1989, when it is not actually a year old just yet. So the horse will always be 9 months younger than it's racing age, and this sometimes means that a horse is raced before it is truly old enough. I hope this explains it clearly, just get back to me if I confused you.
