Thoroughbreds run at an average 35-45 MPH, though some have been clocked at 50mph in sprints.
They are slim and streamlined for a horse, but have powerful hindquarters and legs to help them run fast.
Horse racing. People loved watching the beautiful, fast thoroughbreds run.
The ancestry of the modern thoroughbred traces back to three main sires. The Darley Arabian, the Godolphin Arabian, and the Byerly Turk.
the trick is to run as fast as you can
Sprint .
The answer is yes. Other breeds of horses have been known to out-race thoroughbreds. The Morgan horse is one of these, who was recorded to successfully out-run two valuable thoroughbreds. The standardbred is another breed that can out-race thoroughbreds. I own a nine year old, 15.1hh stb mare and she has out-raced 16hh+ 13 year old successful racing thoroughbreds.
A sprint.
the type of horse used in the police force are thoroughbreds because they can run fast and are very slick!

I am sure any type COULD be a racehorse but not all horses are cut out to be one. Most racehorses are quarter horses or thoroughbreds. A quarter horse is the fastest horse but can only run a short distance. A thoroughbred isn't as fast but can run for a larger period of time. I hope I helped out some ;)
A greyhound can run at 70 kilometre per hour (maximum, race speed).
