Seen here winning the G1 2000 English Oaks, Love Divine's
sire Diesis was recommended by Brain International as
being highly "compatible" for her dam La Sky.
The computer extrapolates your mare's pedigree to twelve generations, identifying the genetic strengths in her pedigree.
We have determined, from our analysis of thousands of pedigrees, that the most successful racehorses are those with pedigrees in which the genetic strengths of both the sire and dam are correctly matched.
These findings are in line with accepted genetic theory that prepotency, or the ability to transmit desirable, dominant genes, results from a large number of gene pairs being homozygous (alike).
Examples of the application of scientific pedigree analysis.

Despite considerable advances in the field of genetics, geneticists have been unable to identify genes responsible for basic characteristics of the Thoroughbred such as speed or stamina. When you consider that in "time" terms the difference in speed performance between a Derby winner and a poor handicapper is only about 5 to 6%, this is hardly surprising.
Brain International can help you race and breed more successfully.
The Brain Pedigree Analysis system is the product of 30 years of research and uses state-of-the-art computer programs with which to analyse pedigrees.
