Thoroughbred

In 1665, the first racetrack was constructed on Long Island.

The course was named Newmarket -- on the Salisbury Plains section of what is now known as the Hempstead Plains of Long Island, New York.

to run the 200 you come out of the blocks in a drive phase which mean that you are pushing out of the blocks at about 85 perccent and you are pushing off the track. after about 20 to 30 meters you bring youre body up and begin to run with knee lift. it may seem like youre running slow but when you start passing people youll know youre not because you are now sprinting full speed and everyone else is beginning to slow down

Another way you could run is fire out of the block 95% until your lane straightens out then get into your stride and hold it until the finish

Yes, many. But the two best were the filly Lady's Secret, that won horse of the year, voted best female twice, won the Distaff award. Also, the colt Risen Star won the Preakness and Belmont, the latter by 17 lengths.

The fastest thoroughbreds average nearly 40mph! And an average thoroughbred runs about 36 mph.

The world record for a Thoroughbred racehorse's average speed over a mile is 43 miles per hour...but their spurts of speed can be slightly faster. Converted to kilometers per hour that equals 69.2km/h.

In the '73 Belmont, it was estimated that Secretariat hit 55 mph down the stretch.

Scamper or Hot Shot. Hot Shot is a beautiful Bucksking gelding who is extrmley fast. Scamper has one a lot of barrel racing awards and competeiongs. So has Hot Shot, but that was in the junior division

The highest paid horse racing jockey is Javier Castellano who earns approximately 1,834,945 dollars per year. The second highest paid jockey is Joel Rosario.

Russell Avery Baze is a retired horse racing jockey. He holds the record for the most race wins in North American horse racing history, and is a member of the United States Racing Hall of Fame.

There was no winner that year.Citation won it in 1948,and there was not another winner til Secretariat in 1973.The 70's saw three winners,Secretariat,73,Seattle Slew,77,and Affirmed,78.

Not only is the Arabian horse beautiful but it is one of the oldest domestic breed, used by virtually all other breeds to improve their bloodlines and conformation.

Baltimore

Only distantly. Her great, great grandsire was Princequillo, who was Secretariat's grandsire.

The fastest time by a three year old throughbred running a mile and one quarter was set at Hollywood Park in 1972 by a horsenamed Quack in the Hollywood Gold Cup. His time of one minute fifty-eight and one fifth of a second also equaled the existing world record set by the great throughbred Noor at Golden Gate fields. It has been answered that a horse named JO Tobin who defeated Seattle Slew at Hollywood Park in 1977 set the record by a three year old , but this is incorrect.

Yes, Quack has the 3yo record and all time is Spectacular Bid. He ran the fastest 1 1/4. Running a time of 1:57.4.

5 times as follows with these horses.

1965: Meadow Court

1967: Ribocco

1968: Ribero

1977: The Minstrel

1981: Shergar

Horses are usually their fastest when they are three to five years old.

I'm not sure what differences you are asking about. The characteristic differences of the two horses are abundant. Although Biscuit and Admiral were related (uncle/nephew) they were very different individuals.

War Admiral, son of the legendary Man-O-War, was trained by Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons who was no stranger to the winner's circle. War Admiral had won almost every prestigious race on the east coast, including the Triple Crown. He was voted Horse of the Year, and many other honors befitting a racehorse of his caliber. And as is true of many racehorses, he had a nasty temperment.

Seabiscuit, on the other hand impressed few. Fitzsimmons took a pass on the Biscuit, thinking him lazy and not worth the trouble. For those who don't know much about the racing buisiness this is a common scenario. Of the thousands of foals born every year, a Triple Crown winner is rare. Seabiscuit had some conformation faults that didn't help his case. And in a buisiness where a horse peaks at the age of three or four, Biscuit was a late bloomer, maturing later not sooner. He also had a bad temperment, mostly from mismanagement and harsh training tactics.

Going into the great match race of November 1, 1938, Seabiscuit was the longshot. Although the 2003 movie took some artistic licence with the facts, the match race was accurate. With George 'The Iceman' Wolfe up, he knew the horse and how he needed to be ridden. It truly was a David and Goliath story.

Point of interest:Seabiscuit's lifetime earnings (almost 1/2 million dollars) at the time of his retirement in 1940, far surpassed War Admiral's.

I bet you all of the money in the world that Aniamal Kingdom will win the Kentucky Derby, 137, and Nerho , will probably come in 2nd, with Mocha Mocha Man in 3rd, and maybe Arch Arch Arch in 4th. That is my guess.

Yes. Penny Tweedy divorced her husband of 18 years, Jack Tweedy, shortly after Secretariat won the triple crown in 1973. She later remarried to a man named Rinquist, but that marriage failed as well.

• The 134th Kentucky Derby was run on 3 May 2008 and the winner was Big Brown ridden by Kent Desormeaux.
• The 2007 Kentucky Derby was the 133rd Run For The Roseswon by Street Sense with Calvin Borel aboard.

The amount of weight carried by colts in the Kentucky Derby is 126 pounds. Fillies carry 121 pounds. If a jockey weighs less than either of those weights, then additional weight is added to the saddle of the horse to achieve the assigned weight.

It's pretty complicated. Let's say there's a total purse of $5 million. Half (say) comes from the track. That's split up according to order of finish--the winner gets the most, the driver who blew up on Lap 2 gets the least. Then there are contingency awards. You get them for doing certain things...like, Heinz could give $1000 to the driver leading on Lap 57, or T-Mobile (who has the My 10 plan that allows unlimited calling to 10 numbers you choose) could give $100 to any driver that led exactly 10 laps. To be eligible for a contingency plan award you have to run that company's sticker, which explains a lot of the smaller decals on the cars. After they add up all the contingency awards and such, it's possible for the fifth-place driver to earn more money than the winner. That usually doesn't happen, but in midfield it's real common to see drivers make more money than drivers who finished ahead of them.

Lexington, KY. After that the Northeast and possibly Florida.

Thoroughbred race horse tracks are usually oval in design, and vary in length from 440-yards to 2.5-miles. The Kentucky Derby is ran on a 1.25-mile dirt track. The Dubai World Cup is ran on a synthetic dirt track of the same distance.
