I agree with darienne on the one point, but they race throughbreds because they are bred to be the best through their bloodline.

The more pure the blood is for a horse, the faster it is. It's ancestory.

Ever see a donkey in the Run For The Roses?

they aren't the only horses used for racing. there r quarter horses, arabians, and standardbreds, and even paint horses. if u mean for all of the big races like the triple crown and the breeders cup, i think that this is becuz thoroughbreds r bed to run and to be competitive. they can run at high speeds for long distances so maybe that is why. they need to be a lil sturdier tho
