In case you aren't familiar with the term, quarter horse, let's compare it to thoroughbreds. Thoroughbreds run races measured in furlongs around an oval track, and purses are generally higher. Quarter Horses are a smaller breed than thoroughbreds, and race a quarter of a mile, or 400 yards. The shorter distance means most Quarter Horses run straight without any turns around the track.
