Horse Race Breeding
Although science has been unable to come up with any breeding system in Horse
Racing Breeding that guarantees the birth of a champion, horse breeders
over the centuries have produced an increasingly higher percentage of
Thoroughbreds who are successful on the racetrack by following two basic
principles. The first is that Thoroughbreds with superior racing ability are
more likely to produce offspring with superior racing ability. The second is
that race horses with certain pedigrees are more likely to pass along their
racing ability to their offspring.
Male Thoroughbreds called stallions, have the highest breeding value
because they can mate with about 40 mares a year. The worth of champions in
horse racing, especially winners of Triple Crown horse races, is so high that
groups of investors called breeding syndicates are often formed. Each of the
shares of the breeding syndicate entitles its owner to breed one mare to the
stallion each year. One share, for a great horse, could possibly cost several
million dollars. A share's owner may resell that share at any time.
Horse farms that produce foals for sale at auction are called commercial
breeders. The most successful commercial horse breeders are E. J. Taylor,
Spendthrift Farms, Claiborne Farms, Gainsworthy Farm, and Bluegrass Farm, all in
Kentucky. Farms that produce foals to race themselves are called home breeders,
and these include such famous stables as Calumet Farms, Elmendorf Farm, and
Green-tree Stable in Kentucky and Harbor View Farm in Florida.
