How old does a horse have to be in a jockey race?
Thoroughbreds have to be a minimum of two years old to race. All races have their own age requirements. There are races for two-year-olds, three-year-olds (which are the more widely known ones like the Kentucky Derby, Preakness, and Belmont), three-year-olds and up, and four-year-olds and up.
How old can the horse be in the Kentucky Derby?
The horse has to be three years old.All horses are considered to have a "birthday" on January 1st, regardless of what was the actual date of birth of each horse. This can be a serious matter in the Kentucky Derby, where only "three year old" horses are eligible to run. If a horse was born on Dec. 31st, it is considered one year older than a horse born on Jan. 1st, and would therefore only be eligible to race in the Derby when it was chronologically less than two and a half years old.

Why we say 2 year old why not 2 years old?
It depends how you construct the sentence. You could say, "My horse is a two year old." or you could just as correctly say that, "My horse is two years old." Many people use the same sentence constructions with regards to children... I have a two year old son. My son is two years old.
Who in your opinion was the greatest Race Horse?
This is a matter subject to much debate. The top two horses of the century, as named by "The Blood Horse," were Man O'War and Secretariat. Both were excellent racehorses; Man O'War was only defeated once, and that was very narrowly, after what was possibly the worst race in history, while Secretariat managed to set records in the Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes which still stand, and managed the incredible accomplishments of winning the awards for Three Year Old of the Year, Turf Male of the Year, and Horse of the Year, all in the same year - not to mention he also won Two Year Old of the Year and Horse of the Year together, the first time any two-year-old won Horse of the Year honors. The greatest filly of all time was most likely Ruffian. Racing in 1974 and 1975, she had ten starts, taking an immediate lead and setting or tying records as she won them all. Her tragic eleventh race is a story that still captures people even today; there was a made-for-TV movie about her in 2007.

Do throughbreds run faster than other breeds?
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. The standardbred is another breed that can out-race thoroughbreds. I own a nine year old, 15.1hh stb mare and she has out-raced 16hh+ 13 year old successful racing thoroughbreds.
