This might shake things up a bit! I wonder which prominent stallions carry this gene and if breeders will get their horses tested?

If it also associated with speed and precocity, don't expect much of a change.

Or breeders will flee from any stallions carrying the "soundness" gene so as not to interrupt the flow of 5 race wonders hitting the shed each year.
