What is the fastest horse in the world?

The British Thoroughbred is recognized as the best breed of riding horse in the world, and it is because of its high speed that a whole new type of sport, horse racing, was born. As the fastest horse in the world, the English thoroughbred is known for its speed over short distances. More importantly, the breed is genetically stable, widely adaptable, and of high breeding value, and is extremely effective in improving other breeds, especially in raising high speed power.

Appearance of Thoroughbred horses

As a racehorse, the Thoroughbred is very tough and prone to impulsiveness. Its bones are very fine and its muscles show a long bulging appearance. The average height reaches about 1.65 meters and the weight reaches about 420 kg. The coat color is green and bay for the best, black and cyan for the worse. It has a heart dedicated to the track, which is measured to reach eight kilograms, and basically all of its organs are also made for racing, except for the heart.

How fast is the Thoroughbred race?

As the world record holder, the Thoroughbred's running speed must be very fast, according to official statistics, its 1,000-meter running speed is 53 seconds 7. 2,400 meters of running speed, only 2 minutes 23 seconds. What exactly is the concept of this speed? Take human beings to compare, the world record of the flyer Bolt 100 meters is 9.58 seconds. Even if he runs at this speed for one thousand meters, then he should be 90 seconds for one thousand meters. The speed of a thoroughbred horse is double the ideal speed for a human.

Of course, this is just to understand figuratively, it is impossible for a human to compare with a horse. In addition to that, he is also the record holder in long jump and high jump. With a rider, the Thoroughbred's long jump record is 8.30 meters and the high jump record is 2.47 meters. The Thoroughbred, however, is not without any disadvantages. Although it is good at sprinting, it has poor staying power and is not suitable for long distance running. It can only be suitable for racing on the track, with high ornamental value, but not high practical value.
