Thoroughbred

The 1973 Kentucky Derby was won by Secretariat, who set a record time of 1:59.40. Following him in second place was Sham, and in third place was Our Native. Secretariat's victory is particularly notable as it marked the beginning of his legendary triple crown campaign.

Seabiscuit lost 16 out of the 89 races he competed in during his career. But hey, even the greatest horses have their off days, right? It's all about how you bounce back and win the ones that really count.

Oh, dude, the second place finisher in the derby is called the runner-up. You know, like the person who almost won but didn't quite make it. It's like being the first loser, but hey, at least they tried, right?

Secretariat is widely regarded as the fastest race horse in history. In 1973, he won the Triple Crown, setting track records in the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, and Belmont Stakes that still stand today.

A furlong is one eighth of a mile. There are 1760 yards in one mile so there are 220 yards in one furlong. There are 3 feet in 1 yard, so a furlong measures 220 yards x 3, which is 660 feet.

There are 15,840 inches in a quarter mile. Since a mile is 5,280 ft, you would divide that by 4 (to get the number of feet in 1/4 mile) and then multiply that result by 12 (since there are 12 inches in a foot).

Mathematically, it would look like this:

5,280/4= 1,320; 1,320 x 12= 15,840

The fastest time recorded at the Melbourne Cup was 3 minutes and 16.3 seconds, set by Kingston Rule in 1990.

The number of inches in a quarter mile is 15,840 inches (5280 feet * 12 inches). The number of inches in 880 miles is 52,896,000 inches (880 miles * 5280 feet * 12 inches). The difference in inches between the two distances is 52,880,160 inches.

It is difficult to determine an exact number of sea cliffs in Ireland, as the coastline is rugged and there are many cliffs of varying sizes along the coast. Some of the most famous sea cliffs in Ireland include the Cliffs of Moher, Slieve League, and Loop Head.

Nevada is known as the "Silver State" because of its historical importance in silver mining industry during the late 19th century.

The average life expectancy for women varies by country, but globally it is around 73-74 years. This can be influenced by factors such as access to healthcare, lifestyle choices, and socioeconomic status.

A furlong is an eighth of a mile or 220 yards.

That's about 200 metres (meters) or about 20 000 cm.

The real John 'Red' Pollard was born in Canada but spent most of his life in America. At 5'7" Pollard was much bigger than most jockies and resorted to desperate measures to keep his weight down. Pollard tented to have rotten luck, many accidents, some life threatening but still he would come back to ride again. Pollard finally hit his stride when introduced to a nasty-tempered horse named Seabiscuit. And the rest is history.

Pollard had a difficult life at times. He struggled with alcohol addiction, injuries, and lack of money. He eventually married and had children, he died in 1981.

Thoroughbreds were originally just bred to be faster than other horses but over the years they have become scientifically infused with more Arab, Barb and some Friesian Sporthorse to become bigger, faster, stronger and a lot less fragile.

Seattle Slew was the last living Triple Crown winner who lived. He passed away on May 7, 2002.

In the United States, the leading Web site for handicapping information is The Daily Racing Form. See related links for a link to its site, as well as a link to a guide to horse racing on the Internet.

It is limited to three year old thoroughbreds only. No Belgians or mustangs need apply. Geriatric Gypsy Horses go away, Premature ponies will be escorted out. All size challenged animals like Hanoverian's may leave their applications in the circular file cabinet next to the watercooler.

They are bred to run. Someone said that the Thoroughbred has been bred and inbred with a locomotive for a heart and champange glass stems for legs. Perhaps some form of Genetic discipline or engineering will be required.

definatley yes!!!under the sawdust or beding,is hard wood or concrete.and the horse were to urinate witghout any straw or sawdust on that concrete or wood,it woudlt soak iton anything andif the horse were to walk ove that it would slip nd fall and its stall ould be a huge mess!!!i recommend sawdust.

A female horse is mare, a male still able to breed is a stallion and a gelded male horse is called a gelding. A horse that has been trained is called a backed or broken horse but backed is a nicer term.
