Best Answer

Quarter horses have been clocked at speeds of 57mph! However, this is only over short distances around a quarter of a mile. A Thoroughbred racehorse can gallop for 2 miles at 40 miles per hour.

There was a horse in the Kentucky derby that ran it in under 2 min at 37.5 miles an hour. In spurts, many can run about 42 miles an hour, some a little faster.
