Many racehorses become addicted to drugs when their trainers and even veterinarians give them drugs to keep them on the track when they shouldn't be racing. Those drugs, although legal, can also mask pain or make a horse run faster.
Running and jumping comes naturally to horses, and we see them doing both those things in the wild. It's also interesting to note that when a horse unseats its rider during a race, it will continue to run and jump with the other horses.
Racehorses can be either male or female. Mares (female horses) compete against their male counterparts and often win. Some of the world's best racehorses have been female.
It always takes time to get used to the change, and once you do, a new normal will take hold. The horses didn't change speeds, or get slower. Races will seem slower because we are accurately timing them. Maintaining inaccuracy to benefit consistency is a fool's errand in the long run.
