Sprinting for the Win!
Horse racing is one of America's favorite sports. I personally love to go to the races and cheer on the horse I picked to win. When I choose a horse to place I like to look at their racing history; which gives you an insight on how the horse runs. It is always fun to bet on the underdog and watch them win the race.
In the United States there are two dominant styles of track racing....Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse. The Thoroughbreds are a longer leaner breed that normally runs an average of a mile.
The Quarter Horse is faster, but they only race for about a 1/4 mile. They are a shorter stockier breed, so they can not sprint as far.
