They reach 70-80% of full speed in just a 5-10 meters. A man could get off the the line much faster, even if the horse knew what to do!Suicides: Man. I would have to weigh in on the side of the man. Note that the times are not necessarily comparable from year to year due to changes of the rules and the course layout. Coming 3rd in the Cork Marathon just five days earlier may have contributed to his running slower than perhaps he might have been able to. Unless the horse was fitted with some new Jordans.

If you think the horse is slower over the first 94 feet (and therefore the human beats it), he’ll have to be going faster than 55 Mph for the remaining 300 feet to make it in 7 seconds. We can put a man on the moon! The horse was running on grass under similar conditions as those used in horse racing (i.e. I *do* know (from my tiny experience as a sprinter) that in taking the average speed of Powell, you’re not only taking into account his slower rate during his ramp up phase, but also his deceleration in the last 20 metres or so. Buckles for 50 mile finishers. I searched high and low online and found little about the acceleration of either horses or humans. 5 seconds into the race, I’d estimate the horses had traveled about 50 feet. My experience with horses has told me that horses don’t require much of a start (10-15 yards) to reach max speed, and, given that a horse has a max speed higher than the human, I would predict a win for the horse.I know the question is framed around a thoroughbred horse, but considering that 2-year-old QH winners on small tracks in South Dakota generally post times of 13.5 - 14 seconds over 250 yards, I feel as though a top thoroughbred could maintain something similar for the length of a basketball court.

If you arbitrarily deduct 0.1 seconds in cinsideration of a standing start, and add 0.1 for the addtional 4 feet, it’s a virtual wash.The most comparable distance for a horse is in Rodeo barrel racing in which the 1st and 2nd barrels are often 90 feet apart, and, in my opinion, the turn off of the 1st barrel would simulate a standing start. [1][2] The race — which is a shorter distance than an official marathon road race — takes place in the Welsh town of Llanwrtyd Wells every June.
