Dam Sire
Through numerous breeding studies, we can determine a horse’s preference for a particular going based on genetic traits past to it through various ancestries and blood lines.
Breeding not only influences a horse’s physical size and shape but also is a major factor on a horses distance, going preferences plus a whole host of other factors related to the conditions of the race.
With this in mind in the new release we have enhanced the software to include the ability to query Dam Sires. This new feature can be found in a number of areas in the new release
