Dr Matthew Binns is a leader of the project, an enterprise set up to map the equine genome, and with racing historian and bloodstock authority Tony Morris has written this important book on the theory, practice, art and science of Thoroughbred breeding. This long-awaited book describes how man came to express pedigree and to develop theories about it, and how practical breeders behaved in the light of their understanding. It explains why many theories - including some still widely granted credibility today - are fallacious, examines the very real progress in knowledge since the principles of genetics were discovered, and focuses on the exciting developments of the last few years, when eminent geneticists have applied their expertise to the subject of the Thoroughbred. It has been the authors' endeavour to present that information in a form that may be readily understood by anyone who shares a love of the Thoroughbred and a fascination with what makes him what he is. Packed with absorbing history and cutting-edge science, this is a fascinating and illuminating book.

In fact if you're one of the proponents of systems such as "Dosage", "X-factor", Mare families, or pedigree analysis that goes back more than 5 generations, prepare to have your views challenged and criticized. The Authors spend most of the book explaining then debunking a lot of what has been written about breeding racehorses over the last 200 years. The Authors then go on to give you a fairly cogent and understandable explanation of how genetics works, how much more we know about it now and how much work there still is to be done. I did enjoy reading this book. However, I would have liked to know where horse breeders can look to for the better professional research of genetics in race horses. The few studies they site seem to be somewhat open-ended and inconclusive. A lot of what's said is along the lines of "wouldn't it have been nice if they had studied this or that bit". I finished reading it thinking "that's all there is?". ## Frequently Bought Together - Thoroughbred Breeding: Pedigree Theories and the Science of Genetics - The Horse Conformation Handbook - Thoroughbred Yearling Selection based on Biomechanics: Modern conformation levering --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/14568214-thoroughbred-breeding-pedigree-theories-and-the-science-of-genetics](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/14568214-thoroughbred-breeding-pedigree-theories-and-the-science-of-genetics) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
