The answer is makibi Diva won Melbourne cup 3 times in a row
I don't believe that is the case. Yes she won 3 Melbourne Cups but does that mean she is the fastest? I don't think so. I think it might be either Man O' War or Secretariat. But Secretariat did win the Belmont Stakes in record time but I don't think there is any record of the fastest horse. Even if there was we would believe differently

A gallop
The Quarter Horse has been clocked at 55mph and is the fastest horse over short distances.
Tobiano, being a color pattern, matters not on the speed of a horse. A Paint is derived from the Quarter Horse. At best, the fastest run given by a Quarter Horse at a quarter mile race was 55 mph. Although, this is the clocked speed from a race horse with impeccable conformation and breeding for speed. But an average horse at a full gallop typically has a speed of 35 mph.

It was a horse, I think...
Secretariat.

Depends on how far the race is? A Cheetah is built for speed over a short distance - several hundred metres, where it will be faster than a horse. The horse is able to maintain a brisk pace over a much longer distance and the cheetah could not maintain the horse's speed over a longer distance!
the fastest recorded speed was about 40 mph.
The Quarter Horse is fastest for sprints. They race a quarter-mile. Thoroughbreds are fastest for anything longer than that. Arabians are best for endurance. The fastest mile for a horse was around 1 minute, 35 seconds. This record was set by the TB racehorse Salvador.
The car with the fastest speed will win the race.
