About 57-67% of Thoroughbreds are geldings, and in saying Thoroughbreds I mean the racing one's. There are more pet Thoroughbred mares then geldings but there are more racing Geldings then mares, the reason for this is because the geldings run more from their front legs then their butts and mares run more from their butt's. Most trainers want their horses to race from their front legs because it means they can run faster although this causes major damage to the legs, Mares have it alot easier in racing if they have a GOOD "horse-wise" trainer who will let them run they way they are created to ran.
