Quicker Horses

A new British study shows that race horses have become quicker over short distances since the 1970's. It is unclear, however, whether this is due to better breeding or better training.

I believe the answer is both better breeding and better training. The article states that training has developed over the last decades. I know that dog breeding has improved, so it would make sense horse breeding has as well. When there are two possible answers to a complicated question, the answer is often a combination of the two.

It would be interesting to get to know more about this in the future. Insights into horse breeding may give ideas to improve dog breeding. Dog breeding is, of course, the most important breeding there is, but I do think that dog breeders can learn from other breeders, nevertheless.
