The Science of Bloodstock Breeding

B. Vijay, a noted pedigree expert, has written this guide to bloodstock breeding in simple, easy-to-understand language. He describes the five-step process of rating stallions and how to to determine whether a stallion is rated "Classic," "Border-line-classic" or something less. You will learn the theories of inbreeding, outcrossing, dosage and the "international outbred." The Science of Bloodstock Breeding explains the many theories of breeding Thoroughbreds. It tells why much of what you hear and read about breeding is really fiction not fact. It is a nuts-and-bolts type of book that explains what it takes to breed a winner.
