Fully trained Akhal-Teke Giveaway!

Post by ImpressiveInstant »

Hello and welcome everyone!! Now that private sales have been implemented, I have decided to restart my Fully trained horse Giveaways!
Rules are very simple, please no Googling the answers. But have a guess at the two questions.

Dark Magic

Meet Dark Magic, Jet Black Akhal-Teke HGP: 56,440. Shes quite the competitor, earning her Championship in Endurance and Racing. With a total earnings of $20,190 so far, she is quite an asset to my Stud at the moment! Now I'd like her to be an asset to someone else :)

Question One: What is faster, Greyhound or a Thoroughbred?
Question Two: The fastest horse speed was achieved by which horse? What breed was she? (She reached 70.76 km/h (43.97 mph)

Homework/Hints: Youtube and Wikipedia

Hi there! To code the link, you do:
1) press: [horse=][/horse]
2) where it says the = sign, paste in the horse's number found after the URL. This will upload the most recent picture from the gallery and provide a link.
3) in between these two ][ signs, write the horse's name or a title.

Here you go:
[horse=805698*****]insert a title or name here[/horse]
Remove the * from the horse number.

Hope this helped! :)

I want to answer only because I know the answer to question 2. lol. For once random information does me some good!

Question One: I have no idea. But I assume the Thoroughbred? However, Grayhounds are smaller and leaner which could also lead one to assume their times would be faster. They have less mass to move and thinner legs which could suggest a faster speed. However, Thoroughbred have more muscle mass, and a greater tendency for strength and stamina than the Grayhound. I'm going to guess its the Thoroughbred.

Question Two: The fastest horse [ever recorded] is a 2 year old filly by the name of Winning Brew. She was a beautiful TB, of dark Bay in color. A truly impressive animal. I didn't know how fantastic her time really was however, until I looked at your post. I'm going to do more research into her after I post this. :)
