Can thoroughbreds race in quarter horse race?
Never saw that before.

Very popular pitting long winded QHorses against super fast T-breds at this distance. I think the QH are at a disadvantage as they have to make a turn on all the tracks I have seen this race take place. This is really a long way for most QHorses.

Actaully, the TB are at a disadvantage. TB rarely can break with QH and usually are 3-4 lengths back at the first call.
