Male or female horses in horse racing?

 

In horse racing, have male horses always been faster than female horses? I know about a few mares and fillies who were as good as their male counterparts, but has horse racing always been dominated by the male horses?

As the others have mentioned, as with most other mammals, males have generally been stronger and faster than females due to their genetic and physiological differences. So yes, despite the occasional exception like Zenyatta or Ruffian, male horses have been faster than their female counterparts.

No, it depends on their breeding and training. Doesn't matter the gender at all.

I'm going to agree with Madi Jay...I don't think the sex of the horse matters in horse racing. Start looking at some race results and compare the two! Here's a good source: TVG
