Which has the greater influence on the performance of the offspring under certain conditions, the stallion (sire) or the dam?
Thanks.

The "stamina comes from the dam" theory seems to be regarded as rubbish by those who know about this subject.

Thanks, I was thinking more about ground conditions.

I think Tommy knows a bit about this subject.

Have you posted on the HR or breeding forum?
|
|
By:
no, I feel more at home here.

By:
This is a very interesting subject and one I wish I knew more about

By:
Indeed mate, I think there's a good profit to me made if you have the tools.

By:
I know you said that you were talking about ground conditions but I have read that if you mate a stallion whose optimum distance was say, 12f with a dam who was best over 6f, the offspring won't want 9f but are more likely to inherit their distance requirements from one or other of the parents.
Could be either parent. Or maybe neither. Sounds like a minefield |

I'm sure it is but I reckon patient studying would reap rewards.
|
|
By:
I reckon you're right. Presumably you'd focus on 2yo's
|
|
By:
No, I was thinking about ground conditions first. There are a lot of areas to look at mind.
|
|
By:
I meant ground conditions for 2yo's on the basis that going preferences for older horses can usually be identified by looking at form

Equal influence, imvho. (On average)

Iirc, you subscribe to Timeform Jury - back the selections then green up later?
|
|
By:
Fwiw, we inherit slightly more than 50% of our genetic material from our mothers.
|
|
By:
Yes I do Timeform Jury but it's very hard getting your bets on. Plus they've moved the message forward to 9.30 from 11.00 so there's hardly any money in on here, so will have to decide wheter to continue with that.
