Journal ArticleDOI
Founder-specific inbreeding depression affects racing performance in Thoroughbred horses.
Evelyn T. Todd,Simon Y. W. Ho,Peter C. Thomson,Rachel A. Ang,Brandon D. Velie,Natasha A. Hamilton +5 more
TL;DR: It is found that selective breeding has not efficiently alleviated the Australian Thoroughbred population of its genetic load, however, there is evidence for purging in the population that might have improved racing performance over time.
Journal ArticleDOI
The association of age at first start with career length in the Australian Thoroughbred racehorse population
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the association between age at first start and career length in the Australian Thoroughbred population and estimate the risk of racing retirement for horses racing in Australia based on age, career earnings, number of starts as a 2-year-old and distance raced.
Journal ArticleDOI
Equine performance genes and the future of doping in horseracing
TL;DR: This review focuses on genes that have been linked to athletic performance in horses and, therefore, could be targeted for genetic manipulation and the risks associated with gene doping and approaches to detect gene doping.
Journal ArticleDOI
The relationship between coat colour phenotype and equine behaviour: A pilot study
Jessica L. Finn,Bianca Haase,Cali E. Willet,Diane van Rooy,Tracy Chew,Claire M. Wade,Natasha A. Hamilton,Brandon D. Velie +7 more
TL;DR: Insight is provided into any potential genetic associations between coat colour and adverse behaviours in horses by providing insight into the common perception among horse owners that the chestnut coat colour is associated with adverse behaviours.
Journal ArticleDOI
Profiling the careers of Thoroughbred horses racing in Australia between 2000 and 2010
TL;DR: Clear differences in career outcomes exist between intact males, females and geldings racing in Australia and future research should be conscious of these differences when analysing population data.
