the QH would have BEAT that Thoroughbred BADLY if it were a quarter mile.

qh would have blown that tb away if it was an actual quarter mile. but good race :)

Interesting thing is that the TB came off the blocks ahead of the QH.

Fort Erie Racetrack up in Ontario does 2 QH/Tbred Challenges, 1 going 400 yards, the other going 870. The Quarter Horses always do and always will win the 400 yard, and the Thoroughbreds will always win the 870. The only time that wont happen is when you put a Champ tbred sprinter against the cheapest QH, and vice versa.

Tiny little thoroughbred mare, would be interesting to have seen a race with a leggier horse. But true to form, the quarter horse gets up to speed much fast.

Who are we kidding? The Quarter Horse proved it was named accurately, it dominated the first 1/4 mile, after that the Thoroughbred took over. Completely obvious turnout.

Ive seen thoroughbreds DOMINATE over quarter horses even in the quarter mile. They are both extreme athlete but the thoroughrbed is and always will be the fastest, you cant change that,

The QH did good job but u carnt really put them 2gether TBs r supreme athletes bred for speed over distance and the QH bred for quarter mile sprints but it was cool to watch

[Lossarnach23]

what is all that comparing QH to TB about? would it make sense to compare Usain Bolt to Hicham El Guerrouj? not really.

[ferndoggy1065]

[Life4Rodeo]
