  Thoroughbred - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
All modern Thoroughbreds descend from three stallions imported to England from the Middle East in the late 17th and early 18th centuries: the Darley Arabian, the Godolphin Arabian, also known as the Godolphin Barb, and the Byerly Turk, together with around 35 mares.
Although the Thoroughbred is primarily bred for racing, the breed is also used for show jumping and combined training due to its athleticism, and many retired race horses become fine family riding horses, endurance horses, dressage horses, and youth show horses.
The Thoroughbred is bred primarily for racing under saddle at the gallop.

 Thoroughbred horse race - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thoroughbred horse racing is the main form of horse-racing throughout the world.
A trainer, who is hired by the thoroughbred horse's owner, would train the horses for a particular event (the horse trains on a local training track near the stable and at facilities and in the open country nearby) and also enter horses into races that would suit the horse.
Such is the case of La Troienne, one of the most important mares of the 20th century to whom many of the greatest thoroughbred champions, and dams of champions can be traced.

 Breeds of Livestock - Thoroughbred Horse
In early days, Thoroughbred breeding records were sparse and frequently incomplete, it being the custom, among other things, not to name a horse until it had proved outstanding ability.
Without assurance, beyond all reasonable doubt, of the identity of every Thoroughbred which competes, or which is bred with a view to continuing the breed, the sport of racing as it is known today, could not exist.
The average height of today's Thoroughbred is a little over 16 hands, as opposed to the 14-hand average height of the horses from which the breed originated.

 The Jockey Club--Dedicated to the Improvement of Thoroughbred Breeding and Racing Since 1894
The Thoroughbred is a breed of horse whose ancestry traces back more than 300 years to three foundation stallions - the Darley Arabian, the Godolphin Arabian and the Byerly Turk.
The neck moves in synchrony with the forelegs, aiding the Thoroughbred in its forward motion and extending the "arc of flight" - the time the Thoroughbred literally is airborne.
Thoroughbreds compete at the highest levels of international competition in eventing, show jumping and dressage, and also make outstanding hunters, steeplechasers, barrel racers and polo mounts.

 X-bit labs - Articles - AMD Athlon XP 2200+ on 0.13-Micron Thoroughbred Core
Thoroughbred, although it differs slightly from its predecessor in the architecture, can allow to continue raising the clock frequencies of the Athlon XP family thus giving the opportunity for high-performing AMD processors to catch up with their Intel's competitors.
As for the working frequencies of 0.13micron Thoroughbred based processors, AMD plans show that the company is going to roll out Athlon XP (Thoroughbred) with 2300+ and 2400+ ratings, and core clocks of 1.87GHz and 1.93GHz accordingly, in the third quarter.
Thoroughbred core proved to be similar to Palomino, with all the highs and lows of the latter.

 Geek.com AMD Thoroughbred Processor Table   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The Thoroughbred features both mobile and desktop versions and is pretty much the same as previous Athlons, but is smaller, consumes less power and achieves higher clock speeds due to the.13 micron process.
There's two flavors of the Thoroughbred core, the first hot-running and not-very-scalable Thoroughbred A and the cooler and higher-clocking Thoroughbred B. The "B" core is slightly larger due to a new layout designed to improve scalability.
Thoroughbred B cores will likely need a motherboard BIOS update to work with already existing motherboards that work with the "A" cores.

 Thoroughbred Racing Horses - Equine Encyclopedia
As "thoroughbred" is an adjective that describes being fully-blooded descendants of a particular breed, some consider the proper name of this particular breed to be English Running Horse, as horses of different breeds can be said to be "thoroughbred" members of those breeds.
It is more common, however, to use "thoroughbred" to designate horses registered by the Jockey Club of a given country, and "purebred" to refer to registered horses of any breed, as in "purebred" Morgan, "purebred" Arabian, and "purebred" Thoroughbred.

AMD even had produced R Thoroughbred and K Thoroughbred for Revision A. But so far they do not exist in Revision B. For the time being we should get a JIUHB with later production date because they have a greater chance to be overclocked compared to AIUHB's with earlier production date.

 The Tech Report - AMD Athlon XP 2200+ processor - Page 1
Since the Northwood arrived, processor watchers have been waiting impatiently for AMD to counter with a 130nm CPU of its own, a version of Athlon XP code-named "Thoroughbred." It's taken some time, but T-bred is finally here, running at 1.8GHz and given an AMD model number of 2200+.
Thoroughbred is simply a die shrink of the Athlon XP.
AMD says T-bred's transistor count is 37.2 million, down a smidgen from the previous "Palomino" version of the Athlon XP, due to a more efficient layout and "lower voltage handling requirements." That explains why the T-bred is a different shape than Palomino, too.
