    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["There is less sexual dimorphism among horses than humans. The average colt is around 10 percent heavier than a filly, and they're very close in height. Studies of running, rowing, speed skating, and swimming races have shown that human males are on average 11 percent faster than women. The gap between colts and fillies -- male and female horses younger than 4 years old -- is around 1 percent." Includes links to relevant studies and papers.]]></description>

    <title>Triple Crown thoroughbreds aren't running as fast</title>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["The explanations are varied and often conflicting. Some analysts say American breeding has focused too much on producing precociously fast 2-year-olds rather than durable racehorses built for the duress of the Triple Crown. In a related issue, some say the genetic pool has become too narrow, with too much emphasis on a few prominent sires. Others blame modern training, saying the best horses are underworked and too many mediocre horses are pointed toward the Kentucky Derby. And then there are those who say the whole issue is overblown. These defenders of the modern horse say thoroughbreds are trained to win races, not set time records. Besides, they add, the tracks themselves are kept slower these days because safety, not raw speed, is the chief concern."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["One of the most fascinating developments of the postmodern handicapping art has been the use of figure patterns to predict improving and declining form. While speed figures are well known to correlate positively with ability, or class, certain patterns of speed figures can serve as reliable instruments of form analysis. Perhaps the most reliable and useful of these are the paired-figure patterns. That is, a horse has delivered essentially the same performance twice in a row. What should happen next?" (6/30/08)

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[“Rachel was clearly not ready to run.... Yet there’s no reason she can’t return to where she was last year. She just rounded into shape too slowly for this race. I think if they meet it will be in the Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1), but if someone wants to offer $5-million before then Rachel could be ready for a top effort in June after she gets in one more race.”
