Dosage question

Postby dray33 » Mon Nov 03, 2008 8:06 pm

Did a hypo mating, and got a very high dosage for the hypothetical foal. Take a look at this:

HOLY BULL/FOR FREE DP = 5-4-1-0-0 (10) DI = 19.00 CD = 1.40; GSV = 62.68

Whats that mean?????

It means you should find a 400 yard track and race it as a QH

:D Then I got these numbers below the pedigree chart:

Conduit Mare Profile = 8-3-3-7-6 Speed = 11 Stamina = 13 Index = 1.00 Triads = 14-13-16

The higher the dosage=sprinter

The lower the dosage=route horse

A 19 dosage means you will have a sprinter and 5 furlongs might be the max distance

Dosage is a very unreliable, subjective, calculation based on the stallions in a horse's pedigree.

Hello
I dont think that the DI means anything.
Look the stud that I bred my mare to Stormy Jack, he has a DI of 15.00 and he won The Oceanside at a mile and Cal. Sires Stake at 8.5 furlongs.
So taking that the higher the DI, wouldnt Stormy Jack never won at a mile race?

I think whats interesting is that Holy Bull won at:
Travers S (G1), 10f, Saratoga.
Metropolitan H (G1), 8f, Belmont Park, by 5½l.
Haskell Invitational H (G1), 9f, Monmouth Park.
Woodward S (G1), 9f, Belmont Park, by 5l.
Florida Derby (G1), 9f, Gulfstream Park, by 5¾l.
Blue Grass S (G2), 9f, Keeneland, by 3½l.
Dwyer S (G2), 8½f, Belmont Park, by 6¾l.
Hutcheson S (G2), 7f, Gulfstream Park.

At 4 Olympic H, 7f, Gulfstream Park.
Most of his wins were OVER 8f. Won the Travers at 10. Forestry, well... not much in terms of two-turn types. However this filly seems to be able to handle distance. We'll see.

Secretariat had a 20/14/7/9/0 with a DI of 3:00..

And he was a sprinter, they just forgot to tell him to stop sprinting.

Hi

Here are breakdowns of some Conduit Mare numbers.

Holy Bull/For Free: (8-3-3-7-6) (11/13) (1.00) 14-13-16)
Good speed numbers: Brilliant =8, with a nice balance of stamina. Should be able to sprint early, and be capable of routing as he/she matures.

Stormy Jack: (5-3-8-6-2) (8/8) (1.17) (16-17-16)
Nice balance. The numbers say that middle distances (6.5 furlongs to 9 furlongs) would suit this runner best.

Holy Bull: (8-2-4-11-4) (10/15) (0.96) (14-17-19)
This profile indicates a horse with early speed (8 Brilliant points) that is able to effectively carry that speed a distance of ground (9 to 12 furlongs).

Secretariat: (2-6-4-9-5) (8/14) (0.61) (12-19-18)
Not a "speed burner", but the numbers say the longer the race, the better the performance. The high "stout" number, in relation to the rest of the profile, hints at grass running capabilities (as does the profile of Holy Bull)

Dosage profiles are not a good indicator in US, because the drugs horses are
allowed to run on there make them run further than they are suppose to.

Well lets see, how long since 3/4 of the Us has banned steriods? At least a few months now so we shall see.
