The horse genome was first sequenced in 2006. The Horse Genome Project mapped 2.7 billion DNA base pairs, and released the full map in 2009. The horse genome is larger than the dog genome, but smaller than the human genome or the bovine genome. It encompasses 31 pairs of autosomes Read more…
The 2.5-2.7 Gb genome size is somewhat larger than dog (2.5Gb) and smaller than the human and bovine (2.9 Gb) genomes (5-7). Segmental duplications (8) comprise < 1% of the equine genome, and most are intra-chromosomal duplications; such as are seen in many other mammalian genomes (SOM).

Genetic Tendencies John Foster Lasley, PhD and author of Genetic Principles in Horse Breeding, discovered that the gene for club feet is recessive, meaning that both sire and dam must have the gene in order for it to be passed along to the foal. The chances are one in four Read more…
The factors that go into determining race track condition include the surface conditions, type of surface, and track configuration. The surface conditions are influenced by the type of surface factoring in soil type, if the track is turf, artificial surface; plus surface density, porosity, compaction and moisture. What factors affect Read more…
“I think the new 20-horse gate that Churchill’s acquired for the Kentucky Derby has leveled the playing field as much as you possibly can in a 20-horse field,” Asmussen said. “There’s no varying distance between horses.” How many horses are entered in the 2022 Kentucky Derby? Get ready, racing fans! Read more…
