Hi

Usually racehorses are thouroughbreds. They are bred for racing but even most of these aren't fast enough or aren't suited to racing life. In the Middle East they race Arabs but i don't think that's what you're after! A well trained, experienced flat racehorse with a good jockey can reach speeds of 40mph so the answer is pretty fast.
