As it is now nearly 20 years since the magnificent Alydar met his horrific death at Calumet, we cannot expect to see him cropping up as the broodmare sire of many more Grade I winners of the calibre of Gio Ponti. This champion turf horse recently repeated his 2009 victory in the Man O= War S. and this welcome return to the winner=s circle has pushed the Tale of the Cat horse=s earnings past the $4-million mark. With his youngest daughters already 19 years old, the number of active producers among Alydar=s 320 broodmare daughters must be dwindling fast, so we are nearing the end of a very productive era.

  • Dosage in a Nutshell
    Kathleen Irwin’s DOSAGE IN A NUTSHELL The “Dosage System” was developed to help early thoroughbred breeders identify stallions which imparted varying degrees of speed or stamina to their offspring. Wikipedia has this to say about the methodology’s history: “Interest in determining which sires of race horses transmit raw speed, and which sires transmit stamina (defined as the ability to successfully compete at longer distances) to their progeny dates back to the early 20th century, when a French researcher, Lt. Col. J. J. Vullier, published a study on the subject (called Dosage), which was subsequently modified by an Italian breeding expert, Dr. Franco Varola, in two books he authored, entitled Typology Of The Race Horse and The Functional Development Of The Thoroughbred. However, these observations attracted little interest from the general public until 1981, when Daily Racing Form breeding columnist Leon Rasmussen published a new version of Dosage developed by an American scientist and horse owner, Steven A. Roman, Ph.D., in his analysis of the upcoming Kentucky Derby for that year. The new approach, which was more accessible to owners, breeders and handicappers and was supported by solid statistical data, rapidly caught on, and the term "Dosage Index" has been a fixture in the lexicon of horse racing ever since. The details of Dosage methodology have been summarized in Dr. Roman's book entitled Dosage: Pedigree & Performance published in 2002.” In more recent times the system has been forced into its now more famous role of handicapping the Kentucky Derby. Dosage attempts to turn the horse’s pedigree into numbers.
