The purpose of this study was to determine mileage and running speed of racing cattle with the differences in exercise and maintenance in Bulangan Branta Village, Pegantenan District, Pamekasan Regency. The method used a case study and purposive sampling with criteria of racing type, Madura cattle, bulls aged 2-3 years. The research consisted of two treatment groups, namely group one (K1) with exercise (frequency) and maintenance (bathing, drying, massage and giving herbs) which were different from group two (K2), with a total of 20 cows. The variables observed were mileage and running speed which were calculated based on the same distance traveled, 222 m. The data analysis used was the independent t-test using Ms. Excel. The results indicated that the average mileage for K1 cattle was 18.4 seconds and that for K2 was 20.8 seconds. Meanwhile, the average running speed of the K1 was 12.03 m / sec and the K2 races were 10.69 m / sec. The conclusion is that the mileage and running speed of racing bull was higher significantly different in K1 (exercise) than K2 (maintanance).
