Our Chief Science Officer, Emmeline Hill, is the world’s most published author in racehorse genetics. A new study in Animals has mapped 15 years of racehorse genetics research. It covers 869 papers published from 2011 to 2025. The study identifies Emmeline’s 2010 research on exercise-related genes as foundational to the discipline. Racehorse genetics has moved…
Equinome Performance+ tested on 875 sold yearlings Our new test showed a prize money gap the sale ring did not price in. Equinome Performance+ brings three of our genomic tests together into a single score. It draws on 50,000+ genetic markers. It has been validated over 10 years on 11,000 tested Thoroughbreds, from DNA test…
Equinome Performance+ Three genomic tests. One racing prediction score. We now have 10 years of data tracking 11,000 tested Thoroughbreds from DNA test to racetrack. It confirms that our Genomic Racing Value, Genomic Inbreeding Value and Raced/Unraced Potential tests identify a genetic advantage to racecourse success. Research has determined how each test contributes to performance…
