Who was the fastest thoroughbred race horse ever?
This would depend on the distance. The most famous fastest horse would be Secretariat, but he was fast running distances over a mile. There are some horses known as sprinters who are very fast going short distances of a half-mile or 5/8ths of a mile. There is a great game, the best of all horse racing games I’ve ever seen, that let’s you match up thoroughbreds from today and champion horses from yesterday and watch them race in 3D at various distances – http://www.horseracegame.com. Not only is this a great horse racing game, but it also lets you live out what might have happened when other champion horses meet. One final thing, according to several major sources, Groovy is considered the fastest race horse of all time. That’s comparing him to such greats as Dr. Fager, Tom Fool and even Forego.
