They had a match race at 4 furlongs which I think Valiant Pete won. That's the only case I remember of quarter horse versus thoroughbred.

I think you're right. A couple of years ago, there was a QH named Prankster CF, who was a hell of a horse. I think his connections threw out a challenge to Lost In The Fog's (I think it was LITF) connections as to a match race. I don't think anything would have come of it, but it became moot, because Prankster had to be put down on the track in his last race. I think Prankster was by Clever Trick or maybe out of a CT daughter.
