  • humphrey · Firsrt, we do not know what genes cause speed or stamina. Probably not the same combination in any ONE offspring. Then the pure randomness of genetic complement given to the offspring, linked genes, operator genes, epigenetic factors........READ some real genetics before you open your mouth and express ignorance of the processes involved.....If a genetics study were accurate, the literally hundreds of well bred foals would have been champions.........It is a very old saw: Breed the best to the best and HOPE for the best... · 897 days ago ·

There’s no tried and true formula for creating winners, but for Tizway, it’s been the patience of owner William Clifton plus the persistence of trainer Jim Bond that have added up to a trip to the Breeders’ Cup.   On October 3 at Belmont Park, Tizway returned from a four-month layoff to power t...Read More
  • 10 Furlongs · I like this horse as a bit of a value play in the Dirt Mile. I kind-of wish he would have run a good race in the Kelso, and not the GREAT race he ran. Does anyone have any thoughts on a possible bounce senario with Tizway? After all- the Kelso was run after a 4+ month layoff and he is really in the deep end of the pool with this field, in less than 5 weeks. · 964 days ago ·
