This might shake things up a bit! I wonder which prominent stallions carry this gene and if breeders will get their horses tested? https://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing ... racehorses

If it also associated with speed and precocity, don't expect much of a change.
I ran marathons. I saw the Taj Mahal by Moonlight. I drove Highway 1 in a convertible. I petted Zenyatta.

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. :lol:
