I don't know if a zebra could win the derby but they are slightly slower than a racehorse at full speed. a racehorse is about 45 miles an hour. lion is approx 50 and zebra is 40. But zebras have great stamina.. so its not inconcievable that a zebra could beat a racehorse over a mile and a half.

no, because an animal cannot exceed it's defined limits. if a zebras top speed is 40 miles an hour, then there isn't a zebra out there that can run at 45 miles an hour. just as usain bolt, however quick he is, is not running at faster than 27mph.
having said that I have no idea whether or not a zebra could beat a racehorse over 1 mile and a half. certainly racehorses are not really built for maintaining great speed over long distances. for example when you see it described that a horse has "quickened up" it is likely to not be running quicker than it did at the start of the race, just that it's competitors have slowed down at an even more extreme level. |

The Zebra has never been domesticated so I couldn't see one going in stalls, You'd probably be looking at decent bumpers, maybe the Aintree bumper with the hope an easy lead and fast ground?
