There is no book - there can be no book - that will infallibly
point the way to successful bloodstock breeding. Yet in the General
Stud Book, the sport of horse racing has produced a genetic record
extending over more than two centuries and a score of generations
that contains an ordered store of facts about the hereditary
qualities of one living species - data that no scientific body
possesses. Here is the recorded experience of the man who, above
all others of our time, has deciphered the riddle of its manifold
pages: Federico Tesio. Tesio and Nearco and Ribot are the names of
the greatest breeder, the outstanding sire, and the most consistent
winner of the twentieth century, and perhaps of all time. The
astonishing and prolonged success of the Italian stud at Dormello
was the result not merely of an encyclopaedic knowledge of recorded
facts about equine dynasties and the history of the thoroughbred
but of wide practical experience in all parts of the world and
acute, sustained and minute observation of the characteristics of
particular horses and bloodlines. The essence of Tesio's philosophy
and something of his genius has been distilled into this gem of a
book.
