Yes, if only because they are raced to the point of hurting themselves. Racing is hard on any horse but especially the latest refined thoroughbreds, they are slim but very delicate.

The answer is yes. Other breeds of horses have been known to out-race thoroughbreds. The Morgan horse is one of these, who was recorded to successfully out-run two valuable thoroughbreds.
