Re: [RC] QUESTION RE LONG DISTANCE SPEED OF HORSES - Truman Prevatt
World class marathoners are running 26 miles and change in about 2:08
to 2:15. Now if you look at the race in the UAE where four horses did
160 km in under 8 hours - I thnk you have your answer. However with
endurance horses - they do have rest stops that are not counted in
their time. The human marathon is with no stops. I would expect that
the best horse will beat the best human at any distance.

I don't know what the rules of this race are, but this does not seem very
fast to me in light of the 2 hr 30 minute times for LD's.
