What is the fastest acceleration in a horse race?

Answer 1

The American Quarter Horse is the fastest at 55mph. The Thoroughbred is 2nd at 45mph.

Answer2: It should be noted that not all Quarter horses can gallop at 55 MPH, that speed is a world record that has never been equaled.

Answer 2

It depends on how you look at it. Here are some good horses:

Man O' War- beaten only once, named the greatest racehorse of the 20th century

Phar Lap- the greatest Australian horse of all time

Ruffian- nicknamed the "Queen of Fillies"
The fastest horse to ever run was Secretariat who won the derby and is the fastest horse ever ridden. He sired more than 300 foals and died at age 19 because his legs had a disease that killed him.He is still considered the fastest horse that ever lived. If you don't believe me go to Kentucky Horse Park and see the statue for yourself.

Answer 3

The question can be easily debated, seeing as different racing surfaces bring different times for distances, and in different times racing styles/equipment were different. Though, many people say that Secretariat was the fastest race horse.
