Life expectancy

Question
What is the life expectancy of the average thoroughbred racehorse?

Answer
Hi Billy;

I assume you mean, 'racing career' life expectancy...well, that can vary a great deal from not making it to the races to racing for several years.

Most TB's don't make it to the races at all.  Of the ones that do, most don't race more than 1 or 2 years.

Sincerely,

Lana Reinhardt
