I give you credit for cleverness but if all that people really wanted was horses that "move like a tremendous machine", they'd all switch to auto racing.
Most people can tell or care about the difference in time if the race is competitive. Arabians are already fast, beautiful and competitive enough to generate fan interest. If we could design robots that ran faster than horses would that replace horse racing among its fans?
