The Thoroughbred is a horse breed best known for its use in horse racing. Although the word thoroughbred is sometimes used to refer to any breed of purebred horse, it technically refers only to the Thoroughbred breed. Thoroughbreds are considered "hot-blooded" horses that are known for their agility, speed, and spirit.
Horse racing is an equestrian performance sport, typically involving two or more horses ridden by jockeys over a set distance for competition. It is one of the most ancient of all sports, as its basic premise – to identify which of two or more horses is the fastest over a set course or distance – has been unchanged since at least classical antiquity.
A sprint race specialist, Prospective Dolly was conditioned for racing by Canadian trainer, Tony Mattine. At age two in 1989 the filly won the Ontario Debutante Stakes at Fort Erie Racetrack in Fort Erie, Ontario and the My Dear Stakes at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto. She was second in the Astoria Stakes at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York.
