The results of the Speed Gene Test will help trainers to:
✓ Determine optimum race distance with over 90% accuracy
✓ Inform expectations on two-year-old performance
✓ Increase strike rates and earnings through optimised training and race decisions
The Speed Gene Test was launched by Equinome in 2010 and since then has grown to be the most firmly established genetic test for Thoroughbred horses around the globe. This test examines changes in the DNA within the “Myostatin” gene, which is responsible for muscle development and muscle fibre type.
The Speed Gene test then categorises horses into three distinctive types:
C:C Sprint/Mile Types
C:T Middle Distance Types
T:T Staying Types
