Thoroughbreds are generally the fastest, as they are the most popular breed of racehorse.
Quarter Horses can run the fastest for a quarter of a mile, hence their name, but are not the fastest overall.
In other parts of the world, Arabians are also commonly used for racing.
It depends on the distance they are running. Thoroughbreds are the fastest at long distances; Quarter Horses are the fastest at running a quarter of a mile.

Thoroughbreds and Arabians.
Thoroughbreds are generally considered to be the fastest breed of horse.
Well it just depends on what type of breed it is. Like the Thoroughbred, its the fastest breed, can run to 40miles and hour.
Most likely the Italian Greyhound.
The fastest breed of horse is the American Quarter horse, which can reach up to 55 m/h (88 km/h) for a short distance. A Thoroughbred horse can only run as fast as 45mph.

Well going by breed, that would be a Thoroughbred, as for a specific horse I'm not sure.
The fastest breeds will be the breeds that are bred specifically for racing. Of course the first breed people associate with racing is the Thoroughbred. This breed has hundreds of years of selective breeding to be faster at longer distances. But he comes in second place right after the American Quarter Horse. The Quarter Horse is the fastest breed over 1/4 mile races. He is bred for sprinting and he does it well. After these would be horses that are bred to race inside of their breed. An example would be the Arabian. Within the breed, these horses are raced against other Arabs, as are American Paints and Appaloosas. The Paint and Appaloosa registries allow Thoroughbred breeding so the horses that you see on the track at Paint or Appaloosa events may have Jockey Club close up in their pedigree. So there you have it. These are the fastest breeds. Keep in mind that every once in a while a mixed breed horse will be an outstanding athlete and may outrun anything in his locality. So breeding is important but sometimes you will get a fluke. That's what make horse racing fun. The fastest horse breed is the Throughbred, and the second fastest is the American Quarter horse.
Over short distances (up to about a quarter mile) it is the American Quarter Horse. For medium distances (up to about 3 miles) the Thoroughbred tends to be the fastest. Over very very long distances (over 5 miles) it is the Arabian.
The fastest horse breed depends upon the type of race they are in. Arabians are usually the best distance horses. Throughbreds run intermediate distances, and the American Quarter Horse is known to excel in sprinting.
The fastest breed of horse is the American Quarter horse, which can reach up to 55 m/h (88 km/h) for a short distance. A Thoroughbred horse can only run as fast as 45mph.
No, a cheetah can run MUCH faster than a horse. A cheetah is the fastest running land animal on the planet.
