The product of a horse getting from A to B is his or her stride, made up of stride length (distance travelled per stride) and stride frequency (the number of strides per second).🐴 The horse's height and limb length is a contributing factor while stride length is heavily affected by both surface/ground and the topography of the racecourse - slower going or uphill sections shorten a horse's stride and vice versa. There are exceptions, but generally speaking 5f sprinters have a higher stride frequency than horses who run over 1m and above. Here is last year's Kentucky Derby winner (Mage) compared to recent runs of this year's main contenders for Saturday's 2024 eagerly anticipated renewal. It's interesting to see the difference between say Stronghold (short length/high frequency) and Sierra Leone and Just A Touch who stride long and 'slow'...

The most legendary horse breeder of the last century: Federico Tesio. Back in the early 1900s, Federico Tesio shared his 5 rules for mastering pedigree analysis. And these rules are a must-read for new investors, breeders, and racing enthusiasts who want to achieve success in the thoroughbred industry. Here’s the breakdown: Rule #1: Understand the Ancestry What the audience cares about isn’t just famous names. It’s understanding how specific bloodlines contribute to stamina and speed. Don’t forget which one matters most. Rule #2: Look at the Whole Picture Most people who try to breed champions think a successful sire is everything. In actuality, it’s the opposite. Evaluate both the sire and dam’s pedigree for a complete understanding. Rule #3: Practice Patience It takes people a long time to learn this one. Success is not about rushing into decisions based on hype. Instead, it’s about practicing careful pedigree analysis over and over again—until one day, you achieve a truly exceptional horse. Rule #4: Always Be Willing to Learn This one is my favorite. Whether you are a new investor, a breeder, or a racing enthusiast, this rule still applies. And it usually makes all the difference. Rule #5: Think About the Future This is true for most things in life. Your goal should not be to seek short-term success. Instead, you should be more concerned with creating a lasting legacy in your breeding program. Then, and only then, will you follow in the footsteps of the most legendary breeder ever.
