In current times the thoroughbred population is a healthy 500,000+  strong global breed, but in context of modern horse breeds there is an extremely low genetic diversity.

Northern Dancer is without question the most successful stallion of the 20th Century and has dominated Australian pedigrees since the 1990’s.

Over 97% of horses bred in Australia are stamped through Northern Dancer and his later sons in modern times – Sadler’s Wells and Danehill.

As such racehorses in Australia share a common genetic signature which relates to locomotion, skeletal muscle physiology, cardiac function and behavior.

Genetic Signature Selection Analysis usually affect several traits and contribute to shaping a breed. Elite Breeders, when selecting for these specific traits, have made choices which contribute to significant performance and ability in Australian racehorses.

We have partnered with the leading research team which has identified specific chromosomal regions which has led to significant performance on Australian tracks.

In short, there is 20,000+ genes in the Australian Thoroughbred genome. The reasearch team partnering with us has identified the set of genes most suited to horses racing in Australia.
