The average horse can sustain 35 MPH for a short distance. He was a freak. Medical exams of him proved his heart was larger than normal, thus giving him the extra power to carry more oxygen and "energy" throughout his body. If you look at his chest, it's wider than the average racehorse too. He's a gigantic barrel of muscle where the others are built narrow in the front and wide toward the back, like a cement mixer. Big lungs fill that gap and big lungs and wide nostrils take in more air = more oxygen to that big heart to pump all through his body.
I'm a firm believer that genetics play a much smaller role in the making of a winner than the horse's desire to run and win. There are so few records of great race horses who produce colt after colt (or filly) that follow in their footsteps. Most times it's a good line of broodmares that they produce which will only generate one or two successful get out of thousands of foals.
