Thoroughbred

They were. Through a horse named Fair Play, sire to Man-O-War, grandsire to Seabiscuit. This is very common in horse pedigrees to see similar bloodlines. With the creation of other American breeds such as the Quarter Horse and American Paint, these same Thoroughbred bloodlines are found in the family tree of many of these stock horses. Three Bars, a Thoroughbred stallion is considered one of four foundation stallions that all AQHA and APHA registered horses can trace back in their pedigrees.

i could give you some funny answers but, the straight answer is, "yes". I am a pilot and I have a friend that has flown with distinguished horses as his PX (passenger). The horses are not allowed to be sedated and they must be accompanied by a handler. The horses are not fed or watered while en route.The handler can be the trainer, a veterinarian or the owner and etc.. They are put into a specialized padded "tie stall" that can be lifted into the hold with a forklift. The hold is pressurized and climate controlled. The forklift ride seems to be the most stressful part of the trip for the horse so for their own protection they are fully enclosed. The most stressful time of the trip for the owner may be when he pays the BILL.. It is not a cheap ride. Yes. FedEx has a special animal charter flights that are available upon request. They have special stalls that hold the horses and extra seats and oxygen for the caretakers. The MD-11F can carry 84 horses on one flight from Canada to Japan. And these are the large breed of horses like the Belgian horses. The horses are mildly sedated. And you may ask why ship Belgian horses to Japan? It is a delicacy. They feed the horses for a few months to let them gain weight. The shipping cost is about ~$2000 for each horse, but the horse steak sells for about $300 per lb. The horses are shipped from Canada because the USA out-lawed the meat processing of horses. Canada has plants that process horses for food and other uses. Custermen

Zenyatta ran her first race in November of her three year old year. Since she did not compete as a two year-old or early in her three year-old season she hadn't competed in any of the qualifying races that precede the triple crown.

I dont knw! :)

Kentucky is famous for racehorses because, since about 1874 and excluding only a few war years, the Kentucky Derby has been held at Churchill Downs. If you didn't know, this years winner is Mine That Bird. Anyways, this is the LONGEST going American race. That's why.

* Secretariat holds the record with a speed of 1 minute 59.4 seconds in 1973. * Sham in the same race is credited with a sub two minute run at 1 minute 59.99 seconds. However the timing system used was not adequately accurate to certify for the showhorse. Sham is credited with being the only sub two minute loser of the Run for the Roses. * Monarchos in 2001 clocked the race in 1 minute 59.97 seconds.

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

he crossed the gap so he could get more food

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.
