SHIFTING BACK TO THE CENTER , by Robert D. Fierro TO BATTLE ONE LAST TIME It appears that North American Classic winners are moving back toward the center of the breed, both phenotypically and--if FOR HORSE OF THE YEAR it were still being updated--by Dosage Index. Say what? If one can wrap one's head around that hypothesis stated in the opening paragraph, this could be very interesting news for those who have worried for about a quarter of a century that the breed was "shortening up"--in effect, no longer producing the types of Classic horses which breeders produced since the importation of *Nasrullah, *Princequillo and *Royal Charger. Let's start at the beginning. It is generally accepted that the most influential tool developed for assessing pedigree balance in the past half-century is the Dosage Profile developed by Dr. Franco Varola. Cont. p6 (click here)

Gun Runner was nothing short of brilliant in 2017, with five wins from six trips to the races, including the GI Stephen Foster H., GI Whitney S. and GI Woodward S., storied races he won by a combined 22 1/2 lengths. Trained up to the GI Breeders= Cup Classic, the athletic chestnut was pressured through sharp fractions on that Saturday afternoon by the seaside, but turned back the challenge of GI Pacific Classic hero and champion Dirt Male finalist Collected (City Zip) en route to a 2 1/4-length tally.

Eclipse Award Finalists cont. from p1 Arrogate parlayed success in the inaugural Pegasus into a 2 1/4-length defeat of Gun Runner in the G1 , overcoming a woeful beginning to record an astonishing victory that to this date remains the world=s highest-rated performance of 2017. The $560,000 Keeneland September graduate, who enters stud in 2018 at Juddmonte Farm in Kentucky, was the runner-up to California Chrome (Lucky Pulpit) in 2016. Arrogate and Gun Runner are also finalists in the Older Dirt Male category. Like Gun Runner, Live Oak Plantation=s World Approval posted wins in five of his six starts in 2017, his lone blemish a fifth in the GI Manhattan S. in June. The homebred, a half-brother to winner Miesque=s Approval (Miesque=s Son), ran the table thereafter, with victories in the GI Fourstardave H. and the GI Ricoh Woodbine Mile prior to a perfect-trip success on Breeders= Cup Saturday.

There are no Tepins standing in the way of a divisional championship for Lady Eli (Divine Park), assuming voters were willing to forgive her unplaced effort behind fellow finalist Wuheida (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) in the GI Breeders= Cup Filly & Mare Turf. Roy H (More Than Ready) seems to have accomplished enough in the Male Sprinter category, but no horse set itself apart in the female counterpart, with the 66-1 upset in the GI Filly & Mare Sprint by Bar of Gold (Medaglia d=Oro) only further complicating an already muddled picture.

We beg to differ. Let's go back to the words typology and functional. Typology means "defining a type," and in this case Varola was probably using that word as a substitution for genotype, or "the genetic constitution of an individual organism." When you place that genotype into a specific environment--e.g., -you get a functional expression, which is also known as a phenotype.
