Quarter Horse verses Thoroughbred conformation

Quarter Horses and Thoroughbreds are both bred for racing. The primary difference being the distances they are bred to race over. So how does the bone structure of the Quarter Horse that usually races between 300 - 800m, compare to the Thoroughbred who likewise races over 900 - 3200m?

Interestingly we have found the Quarter Horse that is bred to stay, also has similar conformation to the Thoroughbred that is bred to stay, despite the great variations in distance of these races. And again a similar result with the sprinters of both breeds. An example being a Quarter Horse with the typical staying traits of a sloping shoulder, short back and smaller hind quarters can be expected to race up to the endurance Quarter Horse distance of 800m, and the same type of Thoroughbred up to 3200m.
