I'm American and a huge fan of Thoroughbred racing and have owned a few 5000 claimers, but I've recently discovered the Akhal-Tekes and my appreciation is growing substantially. Beautiful horses.

Dear Pink 6666, i know, for sure, they ARE slower, also at the longer distances, as I exercized both breeds ))). Akhal-tekes cover 2400 m (1.5 mile)in 2.50-6 (best result, h.Beduin), while Thoroughbreds can easily do it in 2.23-2.25 (world record 2.22.1 by Alkaased).
I suppose your Akhal-Teke mare is really unique, and you have to race ger against Thoroughbreds, then. ;-))

but over real distances, say 6,000 m to 100 miles... that is what these guys are made for.

Thanks...now unfortunately I need to convert to English and furloughs. I'm sorry if by saying these guys looked "big" I insinuated they weren't professionals...that wasn't intended. It just looked like the irons hung lower than what I remember Enlish and American racing to be. If anything, they look like they are positioned for steeplechase length, that's all.
Has any Thoroughbred gone up against one of these Akhal-Tekes?

the thoroughbreds are better at the shorter distances and the Akhal-Tekes excel at the longer races.
