All depends on the distance. Wikipedia claims that quarterhorses have been clocked at 63 mph, though that would just be for a few seconds, an instantaneous burst of speed. The thoroughbred would max out at about 45 mph over a quarter of a mile, maybe 50 mph over a shorter distance. Secretariat's Derby and Belmont, at 1 1/4 and 1 1/2 miles, respectively, translate to approx. 37.5 mph, and no horse alive today could match those speeds over those distances. In a race of a quarter horse against a thoroughbred, the quarter horse would outsprint the thoroughbred for a short distance (1/4 of a mile or so, not surprisingly), but the thoroughbred would blow the quarterhorse away after that. Just like a human sprinter vs. a miler.

Well, the fastest that horse can run is about 40/45 mph. Probably 30 mph?

a natural gallop for a TB race something between 25 and 30 mph, quarter horses in short races up to 55 mph, trotting harness races something like 8-10 mph...

Horses canter most of the time, so 10mph, but racehorses have been clocked up to 35.
