Of course, horses enjoyed basic linkage to motor cars in the early days since most early garages were livery stables and horse dealers and stealers!
Also, of course, the early carriage makers made the original car bodies: which is why they resembled horse drawn carriages: and tended to use the same suspension!
And most early car owners tended to be reasonably well off and were into horses and seemed to simply apply their equine terminology, thus "Thoroughbred" might have been pretty natural.
Interesting thoughts..........................
