Many people around the world have heard of thoroughbred racing and the Kentucky Derby, but not so many have heard about the sport of American quarter horse racing. My name is Colt White and I will mainly talk about the big stakes races going on throughout the busy racing year as well as my picks for those races. The name 21 seconds comes from the fact that the classic quarter horse distance is 440 yards and on average quarter horses cover that quarter mile distance in about 21 seconds.
