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.

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.

Well there are several answers.

For sprinting the fastes would be the Quarter horse.

For middle distances the Thoroughbred.

For long distances it would be an Akhal-Teke or Arabian.

The fastest breed overall is the Thoroughbred as they can gallop at speed over distances of 1 to 5 miles. Next is the Quarter horse who can reach greater speeds than the Thoroughbred, but only for a limited distance of about a quarter of a mile. For distances greater than 5 miles the Akhal-Teke is the fastest.
