There are still many unknowns in the breeding of Thoroughbreds, but
the international research coalition known as the Equine Genome
Project is facilitating many new exciting discoveries. Dr Matthew
Binns is a leader of the project, an enterprise set up to map the
equine genome, and with racing historian and bloodstock authority
Tony Morris has written this important book on the theory,
practice, art and science of Thoroughbred breeding. This
long-awaited book describes how man came to express pedigree and to
develop theories about it, and how practical breeders behaved in
the light of their understanding. It explains why many theories -
including some still widely granted credibility today - are
fallacious, examines the very real progress in knowledge since the
principles of genetics were discovered, and focuses on the exciting
developments of the last few years, when eminent geneticists have
applied their expertise to the subject of the Thoroughbred. It has
been the authors' endeavour to present that information in a form
that may be readily understood by anyone who shares a love of the
Thoroughbred and a fascination with what makes him what he is.
Packed with absorbing history and cutting-edge science, this is a
fascinating and illuminating book.
