Sensational French Trotter Bold Eagle. SUNDAY, JANUARY 24, 2016 SUNDAY, JANUARY 24, 2016 Bold Eagle ready to fly in French classic and he now ranks among the top stallions in France. His by Dean A. Hoffman offspring have found success elsewhere in Europe. In fact, On Saturday evening, Jan. 24, 2009, I was making my his son Bold Eagle will be the likely favorite for this year's way up the steps to the ballroom at the Hotel Terrass in the Prix d'Amerique, which will be contested on the final day of Montmartre section of Paris. I was en route to a cocktail this month. party on the eve of the Prix d'Amerique, the great French On Jan. 17, Bold Eagle made his rivals look ordinary in trotting classic to be contested the next day. the stretch drive of the Prix de Belgique, the last major prep Suddenly I heard someone calling my name. I turned and race for the Prix d'Amerique. Driver Franck Nivard settled spotted Swedish trotting journalist Lars Dahlgren. I'd known him into a third-over spot as the trotters fought it out in the him for many years. early stages of the race. Nivard sat very confidently until the final turn and then eased Bold Eagle out into the clear. Once the field turned into the stretch, what Bold Eagle did defies belief. He sailed past his rivals - the best horses in France - like the proverbial freight train past a tramp. He displayed that same rapid turn of foot that made his sire such a sensation. Like father, like son. Watching that race would make you think that the Prix d'Amerique (Jan. 31) would be a virtual walkover for Bold Eagle, but he is only a five-year-old, a mere infant in French trotting terms, and he may not have things his way in the big race. Plus, the French have a habit of using the prep races for the Prix d'Amerique as tighteners and try to Sensational French trotter Bold Eagle. "Dean, there is a horse that you must watch tomorrow at Vincennes," he told me. "He's not in the Prix d'Amerique. He's only a four-year-old, but he's a French horse that has the speed to race with the best in America. His name is Ready Cash." I took his advice to heart. Ready Cash was racing in the Prix Charles Tiercelin for four-year-olds. As I recall, Ready Cash stalked the leaders in the early stages of the 1-3/4 mile race. As the field began the uphill portion of the race on the backstretch, Ready Cash unleashed his speed. In a flash, he was past the leaders. In a flash, the race was over. Only the minor spoils were in question once he got to the front. I was duly impressed. I remembered his name and I returned to Paris for more Prix d'Ameriques and saw Ready Cash win France's greatest race twice. He fulfilled the promise Lars Dahlgren saw in him. Like many of the best French stallions, Ready Cash burned the candle at both ends, racing and breeding in the same year. (Prix d'Amerique winner Coktail Jet served a mare in France on Friday, then flew to Sweden and beat the best trotters in the world in the 1996 Elitlopp.) Ready Cash's initial offspring quickly established themselves as having his quick speed and determination Wakizashi Hanover winner of the 2015 Pepsi North America Cup.

Interestingly, the second dam of Bold Eagle is also by Workaholic. He stood at stud in New Jersey briefly before being exported to France in the late 1980s, where he was extraordinarily popular and successful. The Prix d'Amerique was started by the French after World War I. Its name derives from the gratitude that they felt in the land of Lafayette for the role that America played in turning the tide in World War I. That was very considerate of the French, but the conditions of the race are quite un-American. When asked to describe the Prix d'Amerique, my stock reply is, "It's a race with 18 trotters, starting without a starting gate and without assigned post positions. It's contested at about 1-5/8 miles over a track that is a little downhill and then a Last November, Tom Tetrick paid $7,500 for Over Friskie.

All the great geldings from North America were not eligible. That meant no Prix d'Amerique quests over the decades for such greats as Greyhound, Pronto Don, Su Mac Lad, Savoir, San Pail and so many others. (I should add that the French look with absolute horror on trotting hobbles. Sacre bleu!) The last winner bred in North America was the amazon mare Moni Maker, the dominant trotter in the 1999 Prix d'Amerique. In the 1930s, however, many American-bred exports found the winner's circle. Hazleton won in 1931-32 and the 1929 Hambletonian winner Walter Dear triumphed in 1934.

  • List of Horse Breeds 1 List of Horse Breeds
    List of horse breeds 1 List of horse breeds This page is a list of horse and pony breeds, and also includes terms used to describe types of horse that are not breeds but are commonly mistaken for breeds. While there is no scientifically accepted definition of the term "breed,"[1] a breed is defined generally as having distinct true-breeding characteristics over a number of generations; its members may be called "purebred". In most cases, bloodlines of horse breeds are recorded with a breed registry. However, in horses, the concept is somewhat flexible, as open stud books are created for developing horse breeds that are not yet fully true-breeding. Registries also are considered the authority as to whether a given breed is listed as Light or saddle horse breeds a "horse" or a "pony". There are also a number of "color breed", sport horse, and gaited horse registries for horses with various phenotypes or other traits, which admit any animal fitting a given set of physical characteristics, even if there is little or no evidence of the trait being a true-breeding characteristic. Other recording entities or specialty organizations may recognize horses from multiple breeds, thus, for the purposes of this article, such animals are classified as a "type" rather than a "breed". The breeds and types listed here are those that already have a Wikipedia article. For a more extensive list, see the List of all horse breeds in DAD-IS.

  • Genetic Structure and Gene Flows Within Horses: a Genealogical Study at the French Population Scale
    Genetic Structure and Gene Flows within Horses: A Genealogical Study at the French Population Scale Pauline Pirault1, Sophy Danvy2, Etienne Verrier1,3, Gre´goire Leroy1,3* 1 AgroParisTech, Unite´ Mixte de Recherche 1313 Ge´ne´tique Animale et Biologie Inte´grative, Paris, France, 2 Institut Franc¸ais du Cheval et de l’Equitation, Le Pin au Haras, France, 3 Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique, Unite´ Mixte de Recherche 1313 Ge´ne´tique Animale et Biologie Inte´grative, Domaine de Vilvert, Jouy-en-Josas, France Abstract Since horse breeds constitute populations submitted to variable and multiple outcrossing events, we analyzed the genetic structure and gene flows considering horses raised in France. We used genealogical data, with a reference population of 547,620 horses born in France between 2002 and 2011, grouped according to 55 breed origins. On average, individuals had 6.3 equivalent generations known. Considering different population levels, fixation index decreased from an overall species FIT of 1.37%, to an average FIS of 20.07% when considering the 55 origins, showing that most horse breeds constitute populations without genetic structure. We illustrate the complexity of gene flows existing among horse breeds, a few populations being closed to foreign influence, most, however, being submitted to various levels of introgression. In particular, Thoroughbred and Arab breeds are largely used as introgression sources, since those two populations explain together 26% of founder origins within the overall horse population. When compared with molecular data, breeds with a small level of coancestry also showed low genetic distance; the gene pool of the breeds was probably impacted by their reproducer exchanges.

  • Genealogical Structure of Trotter Horse Breed in Bulgaria
    Trakia Journal of Sciences, No 1, pp 87-91, 2016 Copyright © 2016 Trakia University Available online at: http://www.uni-sz.bg ISSN 1313-7050 (print) ISSN 1313-3551 (online) doi:10.15547/tjs.2016.01.012 Original Contribution GENEALOGICAL STRUCTURE OF TROTTER HORSE BREED IN BULGARIA. DEVELOPMENT OF STAR’S PRIDE AND SPEEDY SCOT BLOOD LINES N. Lukanova1*, R. Vlaeva2 1National Association of Horsebreeding, Sofia, Bulgaria 2Department of Nonruminant and Other animals, Faculty of Agriculture, Trakia University, Stara Zagora, Bulgaria ABSTRACT The aim of the study was to determine the dynamics in the development of the genealogical structure of the trotter horse population in Bulgaria. The information was collected from the Annual Reports of European Trotting Union (U.E.T) as well as the annual catalogues of the Standardbred, Orlov, French and Russian trotter breeds of the above-mentioned organization. Routine zoo-technical methods were used for the data analysis.
