The Standardbred has a bigger build and a longer body than the Thoroughbred. They are known to be one of the fastest harness racers. They are also known for their good disposition. Hackneys and Morgans, along with several other breeds have contributed to the bloodline of the Standardbred. I found it interesting to learn that in order to be registered a Standardbred most be able to run a mile in 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
