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.

There really is no such thing as a "worse" horse breed or breeds, just like there are no best horse breeds either. Worst really depends on what you are referring to as the worst, like with ranching, show jumping, for draft work, horse racing, for beginners or just as a leisure horse. Besides, there are more variations in temperament within breeds than there is between breeds.

There are 5 racing tracks and 25 horses At a time you can conduct race for 5 horses in the five available tracks What will be the minimum number of trials needed to find out the ultimate winner run?

Let's take an assumption, each horse runs at uniform speed every time. They all have different but fixed speed tag. Step 1) Divide the 25 horses into 5 groups. Each group will have 5 horses each. Step 2) Conduct 5 races for the 5 groups. Step 3) Conduct an another race with each group winners. (i.e. Fastest from Group 1, Fastest from Group 2, ... , and Fastest from Group 5) Step 4) Choose the winner from the Step 3. That will be fastest horse. (So, it needs only 6 races to find out the fastest horse of all the 25 horses) Additionally, Step 5) Name the horses as below: {a1,a2,..., a5}--> For the group which has the fastest horse after Step 3 (6th Race) {b1,b2,...,b5}---> For the group which has the 2nd fastest horse after Step 3 {c1,c2,...,c5}----> For the group which has the 3rd fastest horse after Step 3 {d1,d2,...,d5}---> For the group which has the 4th fastest horse after Step 3 {e1,e2,...,e5}---> For the group which has the 5th fastest horse after Step 3 Where according to their speed, a1>a2>..>a5; b1>b2>..>b5; c1>c2>..>c5; d1>d2>..>d5 and e1>e2>..>e5, also, a1>b1>c1>d1>e1, but not necessarily, b1>a2, c1>b2 etc. [Clearly a1 is the fastest horse] Step 6) Conduct a race with a2, a3, b1, b2 and c1 to find out the 2nd fastest and 3rd fastest of all the 25 horses. So, we need to conduct only 7 races to find out the top 3 fastest horses!
