The world record for a Thoroughbred racehorse's average speed over a mile is 43 â¦ miles per hour...but their spurts of speed can be slightly faster.uarter Horses owe their breed name from their ability to run a fast quarter mile. However, while Quarter Horses are great sprinters they are not so good at longer distances. They don't have the running stamina to race over a ten furlong course (about 2 km or 1 1/8 m) like their Thoroughbred counterparts.
