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?

Note: I am not advocating replacing T-Bred racing with Arabians. A more practical solution is to breed for soundness in T-Breds even if it means the horses would be a little slower.
