Contact or ask the American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) about their speed index chart. It is issued annually so the one you find may not be the most recent one.

A Quarter Horse is n all American horse. What a Quarter Horse really is, is a horse that can gallop at full speed a quarter of a mile without stopping. I hope this answers your question! [-:
I believe that the fastest an average quarter horse can run is about thirty to forty mph at top speed.
They have an extreme speed for very short distances. Not to mention they are beautiful:)
A Quarter horse is a sprinter and would not be able to sustain anything over a quarter of a mile distance at a gallop, they do not have endurance along with their speed, though they can work long hours at the walk and trot.Within a ten hour period a Quarter horse would only cover one or maybe two quarter mile distances.
A thoroughbred/quarter horse X is called an apendix. They cannot race on the track, but there is an apendix registry. I wouldn't say that all apendixes show the good qualities of both breeds; on the contrary, I think that many show off all of the bad traits.
