QUARTER HORSE RACING
As their name suggests, Quarter Horses are unbeatable at distances
up to a quarter of a mile. Races aare over in the twinkling of
an eye as horses and jockeys lightning-bolt down the track.

The All-American Futurity
The All-American Futurity at Ruidoso Downs, New Mexico is one of the
world's richest horse race, offering a purse in excess of one million dollars.
Cajun Racing
In far less formal settings, Quarter Horse meets are regularly
held in the heart of Louisiana's Cajun country, where interest
in the outcome is equally as enthusiastic as that at more formal
race meets.
To learn more about one of the nation's premier breeders of racing Quarter Horses, visit a special exhibit, The Four Sixes Ranch, provided by the American Quarter Horse Heritage Center and Museum. For even more information, drop by the American Quarter Horse Association's home page.
