Previous studies have concluded that thoroughbred racehorse speed is improving very slowly, if at all, despite heritable variation for performance and putatively intensive selective breeding. This has
We quantified inbreeding based on runs of homozygosity (ROH) using 297K SNP genotypes from 6,128 horses born in Europe and Australia, of which 13.2% were unraced.Â
Horse locomotion is remarkably economical. Here we measure external mechanical work of the galloping horse and relate it to published measurements of metabolic cost. Seven Thoroughbred horses were gal
The percentage of raced Coldblooded trotters that started their first race at 3 years of age, and the average age for the first start, presented for each DMRT3 genotype.
