ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to methods for selecting racehorse candidates. Provided herein are methods for increasing the likelihood of selecting candidates that will be high earners, while reducing the likelihood of selecting candidates that will be low earners, on the basis of certain ultrasonographically-obtained cardiac measurements.
