How often does the Thoroughbred race?
It is not possible to say with 100% accuracy how often a horse might race in any one year or over the course of its career. However, it is hoped that each Thoroughbred will begin its racing career by late summer of its two-year old year. As a three-year old, four-year old, and five-year old it is possible for a horse to run 8-10 times in a year.
