The Apache: Passing On Superior Genetics
The Apache has outstanding genetic tests and the test results are explained by Plusvital below. All the original results are available on request – please message us for more info.
“The Apache has been categorised as a C:T (Middle Distance type) by the Plusvital Speed Gene Test, which predicts optimum race distance and precocity potential by categorising horses as one of three genetic types.
C:T horses, like The Apache, are the most versatile genetic type. They are likely to perform well over shorter distances (7f to 8f/1,400m to 1,600m) as two year olds and then progress to run over middle distances (8f to 12f/1,600m to 2,400m) as three-year-olds and older. C:T horses are capable of producing all three genetic types of horse (Sprint/Mile types, Middle Distance types or Staying types).
The Apache has also been assigned a rating of 1 for both Genomic Racing Value (GRV) and Genomic Breeding Value (GBV) as categorised by Plusvital’s Elite Performance Test, which analyses over 50,000 genetic markers within a horse and assigns a score between 1 and 4 based on their genetic potential to achieve elite racing and breeding performance.
Horses like The Apache, with a GRV score of 1, have the greatest genetic potential to become an elite racehorse and are 5.4 times more likely to achieve this than horses assigned a lower GRV score of 4.
Similarly, horses with a GBV of 1 have the highest genetic probability of producing elite racehorses and passing on favourable genetic variants to their offspring, when compared with other horses assigned a lower score.”
With his results to date of 36% winners to runners, coupled with his own outstanding performance on the track, his genetic tests are proving to be very accurate.
