male vs female thoroughbred - a finding
My ambition is to create an even playing field for all the participants and in the attempt to achieve this aim , I sometime annoy and antagonize many powerful and influential sections of racing fraternity. But I don’t care because I neither live on their dole nor need their approval.
Many times on several occasions I’ve advocated that a female thoroughbred is as versatile and capable as a male one and tried to prove it by scientific methods (mitochondria et al) and by empirical methods proving that a mare ‘s average winning per year is as good as that of a champion sire in India !
To augment this point I would like to post following facts.
While updating my system I discovered that our notion of male superiority is wrong at least in the case of thoroughbreds! Here is the result of the preliminary findings.
Working on Pune track(monsoon as well as main) foe 1200m the winning percentage of female runners for different class for the period 1990- 2000(10 years) is as follows:
Class I – 25%
classII - 50%
class III - 68%
class IV – 56%
class A - 23%
3 yo only- 51%
Except Class I (top class) and Class A the ‘weaker’ sex wins more races than male thoroughbreds! The low percentage for these classes may be attributed to the fact that hardly any mare 5years+ will be running races in higher class because she is more useful in the breeding shed than on the race track leaving the field open to males . In the lowest class only worthless females may be left who are used for gambling at appropriate time rather than used to produce substandard progeny who mat y not find any takers.
But the most interesting point is performance of 3year olds where fillies have a slender lead and that fact must be noted carefully for future. Females mature faster than males – is a universal fact , in animal kingdom, including homo sapiens and the superior winning percentage of a 3 year old filly over 3 year old colt/gelding is a manifestation of that!
Will you buy that?
