Yep... A lot of patience is required.
Yes, it's close to what I would have said; however, wouldn't superior running talent, of the kind that wins races, actually be recessive rather than dominant?
I don't know... there are a lot of things (traits) (chromosomes) that would all have to come together for a perfect race horse... not just one gene for *fast*. <G>
I do not pretend to be a genetics expert, but I would tend to believe that superior sires such as Northern Dancer were dominant for many factors that
predispose a horse to be an extraordinary runner. How else could you explain the higher incidence of quality runners when compared to the norm for
the breed? Wouldn't a "recessive" trait be less likely to be passed on?
