frogfishes are any member of the anglerfish family antennariidae , of the order lophiiformes .

antennariids are known as anglerfishes in australia , where the term " frogfish " refers to members of the unrelated family batrachoididae .

frogfishes are found in almost all tropical and subtropical oceans and seas around the world , the primary exception being the mediterranean sea .

frogfishes are small , short and stocky , and sometimes covered in spinules and other appendages to aid in camouflage .

the camouflage aids in protection from predators and enables them to lure prey .

many species can change colour ; some are covered with other organisms such as algae or hydrozoa .

in keeping with this camouflage , frogfishes typically move slowly , lying in wait for prey , and then striking extremely rapidly , in as little as 6 milliseconds .

few traces of frogfishes remain in the fossil record , though antennarius monodi is known from the miocene of algeria .

frogfish

hairy frogfish , aka striated frogfish , antennarius striatus . these frogfish come in different varieties , often striped or with hairy appendages .
frogfish are preyed upon by other frogfish and moray eels however this is considered an uncommon occurrence . young frogfish may fall victim to opportunistic predators including fishes .
despite their camouflage frogfish are not without predators of their own . lizardfish , scorpionfish and other frogfish are known for eating these critters . while juvenile frogfish are snapped up with ease , once frogfish reach maturity they are generally the hunter , not the hunted .
small frogfish , one to three inches , are great to photograph using a 60mm lens . if you are photographing giant frogfish or frogfish larger than three inches , a non - macro lens is recommended . i use a 9–18mm for giant frogfish and a 14–42mm for larger , adult frogfish of other species that are around four to six inches .

yawning is another great frogfish behavior to capture . frogfish yawn for three reasons—the first is to realign its jaw . you will see this yawn immediately before a frogfish starts walking or fishing . the second is a yawn that happens after a predation attempt . the frogfish will “cough” while yawning to eject any unwanted items , such as sand , pieces of shells , plant material , etc .

here are some more interesting frogfish facts : 1 . unlike many animals that use camouflage as a defense from predators , frogfish mostly use their abilities to attract prey . 2 . frogfish have a modified dorsal fin that has a retractable lure resembling a shrimp , which is used to attract their prey . if their lure is eaten or damaged it can be regenerated . 3 . frogfish are carnivores . they eat fish , crustaceans and even other frogfish . 4 . a frogfish’s mouth can expand to 12 times its resting size . this allows it to catch all sorts of prey . 5 . because frogfish lack a swim bladder , they use their modified pectoral fins to walk , or even gallop , across the seafloor ( check out this great video of a frogfish in action ) .
the frogfish sometimes also actively stalks prey , i have seen a frogfish ( antennarius striatus ) trying to catch a small flounder by slowly sneaking towards it . it was trying to get the flounder into striking distance . the strike zone is about one frogfish body length . click on thumbnail for enlargement .
fascinating to divers and dreaded by its prey , the frogfish is the ocean’s master of aggressive mimicry .
when frogfish first hatch ( as larvae ) they appear to be fully formed miniatures but they have actually yet to develop their lure – this happens later . here in lembeh we often find juveniles on our black sand dive sites and they range in size from just 5mm to 10mm ! juveniles often display different colorations to mature frogfish – did you know that the “clown” frogfish is actually a juvenile warty frogfish ?

frogfish camouflage relies on their lack of movement , which allows algae , coral polyps , and other organisms to grow and live on the their bodies . by moving frogfish , they are no longer camouflaged against their chosen habitats and this can even dislodge some of the organisms that have made a frogfish their home .

the frogfish dosen ' t have many predators . in fact it only has one known predator which is the moray eel . yet it is rare to see this animal attacking or eating a frogfish . the reason the frogfish dosen ' t have many predators is probably because of it ' s camouflage . also when it feels threatened it will puff up scaring away it ' s predator .
the eggs of tetrabrachium ocellatum ( four - armed frogfish or humpback anglerfish ) are wrapped around the dorsal fins which are specially hooked . since a lot of fish like to eat eggs , these eggs might enhance considerably the overall luring effect of a frogfish .
the third reason for yawning is actually a stress reaction . a frogfish will yawn at its reflection in the camera lens—challenging the reflection that it can swallow it whole and should leave it alone ! keep in mind when photographing a yawning frogfish that unless it happens before or after a predation event or movement , it is most likely a stress reaction and the frogfish should be left alone for awhile . if you happen to catch a frogfish yawning , try to get a shot from the side or from directly in front .
the gape strike of the frogfish is so effective that it’s nearly impossible to escape the strike zone . dropping and extending its jaw with lightning - quick speed , the frogfish overwhelms and consumes its prey with surprise and force . frogfish actually engage their stomach muscles simultaneously and crush their victims all in one movement . the only teeth they have are positioned backwards to prevent a subject from escaping .
giant frogfish may camouflage themselves in sponges or on the ocean bottom . these fish can change their color , and even texture to help them blend in with their environment . why do they do it ? to fool their prey . a giant frogfish ' s mouth can stretch to 12 times its size , so the frogfish can gobble up its prey in one giant gulp . if its stealth maneuvers fail , the frogfish has a second option — like an anglerfish , it has a modified spine that functions as a fleshy
lure
that attracts prey . as a curious animal , such as a small fish , approaches , the frogfish gulps them down .
many frogfish are so well hidden that only their faces are visible . not to worry , great photos are still possible . this is especially relevant if you find a giant frogfish while using a 60mm or 105mm lens and it won’t fit in the frame . shoot from the side while focusing on the side of the face and , if possible , utilize some negative space behind the frogfish such as a
the juvenile clown frogfish ( antennarius maculatus ) and the juvenile giant frogfish ( antennarius commerson ) are said to mimic a distasteful flatworm , complete with undulating dorsal fins to simulate the swimming worm . i think there are also examples of distasteful nudibranchs that look similar . other frogfish species ( antennarius hispidus , antennarius striatus ) are just specially well camouflaged and look like algae covered rocks or like a slug .
there is a group of frogfish species , which have no or a much reduced lure . the newly ( 2008 ) discovered frogfish species histiophryne psychedelica ( ambon frogfish ) seems to block off the entrance to holes or crevices and thus entraps its prey inside ( reference ) . it would be interesting to investigate if other nearly rodless frogfishes like histiophryne bougainvilli or histiophryne cryptacanthus also employ a similar behavior of predation .
the twelve genera of antennaridae ( antennae bearing ) frogfish are found nearly worldwide but tend to be bunched as species in different oceans . this article highlights the frogfish of the info - pacific , found in the genus antennarius . the giant frogfish , antennarius commersoni , has a large range and can be found throughout the tropical pacific , eastern atlantic , eastern pacific , hawaii ( kona ) , indian ocean , japan , red sea , tropical australia , western atlantic , indonesia and asia . frogfish take on many different color forms throughout their lifecycle .

like all frogfish , commerson’s is a type of anglerfish ( and in some places it would just be called an anglerfish , not a frogfish ) . anglerfish are bony fish that usually have a growth on their foreheads that is used to lure in prey . frogfish are mostly benthic animals – they tend to sit on a solid surface rather than swim , and they can squat or “walk” using their modified fins as legs .
12 ) different species of the frogfish have different lures ( escae ) , which they wave in front of their mouth to attract prey . some have lures that resemble shrimps , others fishes , worms or tiny squids . recent research has shown the striated frogfish’s lure to be biofluorescent .
commerson’s frogfish , also known as the giant frogfish , ( antennarius commerson ) has a wide range , throughout the tropical pacific and indian oceans and in the red sea . they’re usually found on reefs down to about 30m ( 100ft ) but may sometimes be seen in deeper water .
another alternative is to show the frogfish with its lure out . this is good if you want the frogfish to fill the entire photo while highlighting the fact that it is fishing . if you want to get creative , zoom in a bit and photograph the face and the lure or the lure on its own , especially when dealing with hairy frogfish as they have a huge worm - shaped lure . this option is good if you’re taking a macro or super - macro shot and want the focus to be specifically the behavior and not the frogfish as a whole .
frogfish are masters of disguise . spot one during a dive and you will win the admiration of every diver in your group – especially photographers . frogfish , a type of anglerfish , have a textured exterior that aids in their camouflage . while they do not have scales , their amazing ability to camouflage themselves serves as protection from predators . frogfish vary in color and often have unique spines or bumps that change with their surroundings .

each frogfish species moves the rod ( illicium ) with its lure ( esca ) in a special pattern to attract the attention of potential prey . for example the warty frogfish ( antennarius maculatus ) moves its lure in wavy lines either above the head or directly in front of the mouth close to the ground , the lure is doing a circle . the giant frogfish ( antennarius commerson ) is moving its lure up and down in jerky movements . a study in luring behavior by s . michael also showed , that a frogfish can vary its angling technique . a coinbearing frogfish ( antennatus nummifer ) he observed used three different luring patterns - lifting the lure and vibrating the esca , holding the lure still in front of the mouth and throwing the angel rapidly back and forward .
antennarius maculatus ( engorged ) is followed by a antennarius pictus frogfish . perhaps it is waiting for the release of the eggs , so it can eat them
although they can be difficult to find , frogfish are some of the best subjects for underwater photographers , especially beginners . they come in all different colors and sizes , and don ' t like to move around that much . sometimes they are so camouflaged or hidden that the resulting photograph is cluttered , boring , or makes it hard to even see where the frogfish is . luckily , there are plenty of techniques when photographing frogfish that allow for great , creative photos .

other fishes will perceive the camouflaged frogfish as perfect shelter and approach too close . frogfishes often look like algae covered rocks . in coral reefs there isn ' t really a plentiful supply of algae for herbivore fishes . these fishes will approach a frogfish because they perceive a good feeding ground and are then caught . because no herbivore fishes can eat plants surrounding the frogfish ( they all get caught ) these plants will grow extensively and even more fishes are attracted to the ambush site .
the following habitats are found across the frogfish distribution range . find out more about these environments , what it takes to live there and what else inhabits them .

while diving off the coast of sulawesi , indonesia , one diver captured video of a frogfish taking a stroll along the ocean floor . in the more than 1 , 000 dives that hobbyist diver atsushi sadaki claims to have been on , he says he ' s seen a few frogfish but never any moving in this way .
9 ) the frogfish swims by jet propulsion . it uses backward - facing , tubelike gill openings that propel it along rather than using a tail like most fishes .
11 ) the frogfish lacks a swim bladder . this structure is found in most swimming fishes ; it maintains their buoyancy in a similar manner to a diver’s bc .
just as fishermen use different baits , different species of frogfish have different lures which imitate different prey from small squids , fish and worms through to crabs and shrimp .

luckily , frogfish don ' t spook easily , so there is no need for a large distance between you and the fish when photographing it . if focusing on juvenile frogfish , those that are smaller than an inch , a 105mm lens is a great choice , although you can get away with using a 60mm lens with a diopter .
there are many fish in the sea that use camouflage , but the frogfish is a real treat to see . frogfish can be found in tropical and subtropical oceans and seas off the coasts of africa , asia , australia and north america . next time you take a dive in one of these regions take a closer look at the reef .

it’s important to fit in . that seems to be the approach taken by this frogfish , which has turned white to match the bleached coral on which it is living .
a few frogfish species ( mostly living in australia ) show special parental care for their eggs . for example lophiocharon trisignatus or lophiocharon lithinostomus have fewer but larger eggs than other frogfish species . the female attaches a cluster of eggs with a threadlike structure to the surface of his body ( see below ) and carries them around until they hatch .
frogfish , so named due to their squat resemblance to the common amphibians , range in size from around 5cm to the giant frogfish ' s colossal 40cm . they also resemble frogs in that their fins are more like legs , which they use to walk slowly over the sea bed and atop sponges and corals to lie in wait for their prey .
frogfish spend long periods being stationary ( which makes them excellent underwater photography subjects ) but they are a swimming species , most often though they move by jumping and walking along the sea floor . in order to “jump” the frogfish will suck in water through its mouth and then force it out through their gills – this makes them literally jet propelled !
hairy frogfish range in size and most have their hair growth right from the beginning . adapting quickly , they begin hunting as soon as they hatch from their eggs , gulping down anything for protein . using their rod and lure , frogfish like this juvenile a . striatus hunt smaller shrimps and sometimes other newly - hatched siblings from the same brood .
the weird and wonderful psychedelic frogfish ( histiophryne psychedelica ) was first described in 2009 ( 3 ) , following its discovery in indonesia in 2008 ( 1 ) ( 4 ) . with vivid stripes of bluish - green , white and yellowish - orange ( 4 ) , this strange - looking fish is a type of anglerfish ( a species in the order lophiiformes ) . however , unlike most in this order , and indeed its own family of frogfish , the psychedelic frogfish is unusual in not having a lure growing from its forehead ( 5 ) . in other anglerfish , the lure is a fleshy , modified dorsal fin spine that the anglerfish uses as ‘bait’ to attract prey ( 6 ) . the psychedelic frogfish also has forward - facing eyes on its flattened face , a trait not seen before in frogfish , and which is rare among fish in general ( 5 ) .
6 ) during a recent coral - bleaching event in the maldives , where great areas of coral became pure white , a frogfish was found camouflaging itself against these ghostly corals .
a similar species , antennarius hispidus may be distinguished from the striated frogfish by its esca or lure which is a large oval shaped tuft rather than worm - like in appearance .
the frogfish can be found in a number of locations including : africa , asia , australia , north america . find out more about these places and what else lives there .
frogfish aren ' t the only type of fish found

frogfish is an angler fish , which belongs to the family of antennariidae . there are around 44 members in the frogfish family . these species vary at a huge level on the basis of their size . the bandfin frogfish can grow up to a size of only 5 cm , whereas the giant frogfish can grow up to a size of 40 cm . as their size varies , their coloration , markings and body patterns also varies . as far as the shape of the body is considered , it is almost similar . frogfish are the underwater dwellers and very little is known about this species . they have unique characteristics that they can adapt themselves very well in their natural surroundings . their camouflaged behavior makes them very difficult to be detected and so much is not known about them . they vary in coloration and markings in such a way that it is very difficult to identify the species correctly .
especially the larger frogfish species change the way they hunt while growing . young frogfishes hide a lot ( like the smaller frogfish species ) . when they are grown up large frogfishes ( antennarius commerson , antennarius multiocellatus ) stay at the same place for a long time on exposed areas in the coral reef , so you will find them there during several dives .
food habits striated frogfish feed on crustaceans and various benthic fishes such as flounders , shrimp gobies and of particular note , the lionfish which is an invasive species with the distribution range of this frogfish . feeding behavior is quite unique in this group of fishes . when the frogfish detects its prey , it follows the movement of the prey item with its eyes . as the prey approaches , the frogfish begins to move its illicium in such a way that the esca mimics the movements of the organism it resembles which in this case is a worm . the frogfish slowly prepares for the surprise attack on the prey by stalking it or just adjusting its mouth in anticipation . the prey is actually caught via the sudden opening of the jaws which increases the mouth size up to 12 times , pulling in the prey along with water in just six milliseconds . this water flows out through the gills while the prey is swallowed and the esophagus is closed with a specially adapted muscle to keep the victim contained . frogfish can also expand their stomachs to swallow animals up to twice their own size !
14 ) juvenile painted frogfish mimic toxic nudibranchs . because of this behavior , they have little to fear from their own predators while being ignored by their prey , allowing easy ambush .
the lembeh frogfish ( listed here for a long time as antennatus sp . ) has been identified as nudiantennarius subteres resulting in a redescription of this species ( pietsch and arnold 2017 )
the eastern frogfish has a large mouth , fleshy lips and a tasseled ' beard ' . the species is endemic to australia , occurring from southern queensland to central new south wales .
frogfish ( common name derived from batrachoidiae or toadfish ) are crafty predators that are well designed for ambushing their prey by using “lying and wait” hunting tactics and employing several strategies to atract heir prey without exerting too much energy . they rarely , if ever , swim while hunting , and assume a more stationary position . frogfish are known for lightning fast strike speeds .

food habits this frogfish lies in a sponge and waits for a fish to swim by . it then wiggles the lure around in order to attract the prey . as the frogfish lumbers across the bottom , it moves these spines around in the same way as a snail moves its eye stalks , attracting small fish and crustaceans with its lure . it is capable of swallowing a fish that is larger in size than itself . eating mostly fish , the longlure frogfish has been known to occasionally feed on crabs and mantis shrimps . just like a recreational fisher , the frogfish will move to a different location if no fish are biting , using its stalked pectoral fins and its pelvic fins to slowly
walk
across the bottom .

frogfishes also employ chemical attractants . this is of importance to frogfish that forage at night like the hairy frogfish ( antennarius striatus ) . this frogfish also enlarges his esca by 35 % when actively luring . the hairy frogfish , a juvenile , about 9cm large , on the following 9 photos ( also possible to see as a short video ) was walking about and luring during about 10 minutes , checking out several goby burrows but with no success . during some time it stretched the lure out in front while walking , then again it was moving the lure over its head in complicated patterns . it was interesting to observe the lure , which made wavy movements , then again was rolled up and nearly hidden . click on thumbnail for enlargement .
by following the advice outlined here , even novice underwater photographers will find frogfish to be excellent subjects that can be photographed in a multitude of ways and using a number of different techniques .
the complete length of the lifecycle of an individual is unknown outside of captivity . the size can range anywhere from 1 / 8 inch to 22 inches . as a juvenile the giant frogfish may be white or yellow and saddled with reddish colored patches , often misidentified underwater as a clown frogfish . but as the individual grows towards the sex phase the colors can shift from pink , yellow , black , beige , green and more , often sporting scab like appendages . but all frogfish are speculated to have a chameleon like ability with some even growing hair like appendages .
the frogfish is a master of survival , with all it ' s adaptions . one of the many adaptions it has is it modified dorsal fin with a lure on top . the lure resembles the food of the frogfish ' s prey so they prey will come close the frogfish so it can suck it in . the lure is able to fold back between the fins when not in use , so it won ' t get damaged . another adaption this animal has is it ' s flexible jawbone . this allows it to open up 12 times it original mouth size . this is good for the frogfish because once the lure lures it close to the frogfish it can open up it ' s mouth and suck it in . another adaption it has is it ' s amazing camouflage . it ' s skin will match the surroundings coral colour also it has bumps on it ' s skin which makes it look exactly like the coral around it .
this species is not commercially valuable and is not accidentally captured by fisheries targeting other species . though some individuals are occasionally captured alive for display in public and private aquaria , this uncommon practice is not a threat to scarlet frogfish populations . scientists have not officially assessed the conservation status of the scarlet frogfish , but this naturally rare species is likely a species of least conservation concern .
the most interesting aspect of the frogfish , apart from his prefect camouflage is the way he attracts his prey . other fish lie in wait until the prey swims close to their mouth ( lie - in - wait predation ) , but the frogfish ( or anglerfish ) lures the prey ( fish , crustaceans ) actively to where it can strike . the lure mimics food animals like worms , small shrimps or small fish . the prey approaches to catch the lure and then is engulfed by the waiting frogfish ( see a video ) . this strategy is called aggressive mimicry .
there are many great destinations for diving in the presence of these fascinating creatures . frogfish are common in the dive destinations of indonesia , malaysia and burma , with some of the best being :
· lens choices can range from 105mm to 10 . 5mm , depending on the size of the frogfish . most mid range lenses are perfect , and a compact camera has a very good range
the psychedelic frogfish is the only known fish to ‘hop’ rather than swim , pushing off the sea floor using its leg - like fins and expelling water from its gills to propel itself forwards .
7 ) some deep - sea relatives of the frogfish exhibit sexual parasitism , where tiny parasitic males attach to larger females . males fuse to their partners , receiving nutrients while supplying sperm in return .

of course not all prey is attracted by the lure . a more passive approach is the excellent camouflage of the frogfishes . many animals just mistake a frogfish for a sponge , come too close and are swallowed . i have actually seen on various occasions , how small gobies flittered over the body of a frogfish sitting in a sponge , without being aware of the danger of getting eaten ( image ) .
frogfishes mainly eat fishes and crustaceans ( shrimps and crabs ) . they can swallow items of prey that are twice as large as them ( see a video ) . luring techniques vary depending on the surrounding the frogfish lives in . a frogfish ( for example antennarius striatus ) living mainly on sand often has a lure that reaches close to the ground , so it can move the lure at the entrances of burrows or entice benthic animals like flounders to come closer . a frogfish living exposed on sponges or corals ( for example antennarius commerson ) will lure more often above its head and might have a longish lure . a frogfish living hidden in crevices ( for example antennatus nummifer ) often is small and has a small lure , more like a white ball and will stretch it in front of its head or just above .
hi graham , i have never seen frogfish spawn at dusk , as many other fish do , but only at night . i noted the times of the last two spawnings that i witnessed on my notes at the top of this page . the first two spawnings , in 2003 and 2005 , occurred at 9 : 08pm and 8 : 45pm , respectively . good luck with your quest to witness frogfish spawning !
the broad face of the psychedelic frogfish has an expanded , fleshy chin and cheeks ( 1 ) ( 7 ) , giving it the appearance of a lion’s mane ( 8 ) . this species also has a large , gaping mouth ( 9 ) . its body has thick skin with many folds ( 5 ) , and its tail is slightly off - centre ( 9 ) . as in other frogfish , the pectoral fins on each side of the psychedelic frogfish’s body have evolved to be more like legs than fins ( 2 ) ( 3 ) . the fish also has three spines along its back ( 7 ) .
it is possible that other opportunistic predators would devour anglerfish , particularly when they are still young . indeed in some cultures , man would happily lift some floating sargassum and take the sheltering frogfish home to be eaten .
so - enjoy this website , look at the largest collection of frogfish photos , read about the behavior of this amazing fish and . . . . . get wet ! those critters are waiting for you underwater !
anglerfish generally have the ability to change colour and become camouflaged against their surroundings to stay hidden from prey attracted by their lure . in contrast , the psychedelic frogfish’s lurid colouring does not change , which appears to be reflected in its behaviour as it is a shy and elusive species , hiding itself away . this is presumably due to its inability to become camouflaged in the open . researchers speculate that the psychedelic frogfish’s flamboyant colouring may be a way for the fish to mimic the corals within its habitat ( 5 ) . each individual psychedelic frogfish can be identified by its unique pattern of stripes and concentric rings ( 5 ) ( 7 ) .
“spinules” or small spines are a hair - like structure which give these frogfish their name . the “hair” actually grows right from its soft skin tissue with a variance in density from abundant to hardly any at all .
it inhabits shallow reefs at depths less than 215 feet ( 66 meters ) where it quite easily mimics surrounding sponges . the longlure frogfish is a bottom dweller , occurring in warm shallow waters . the frogfish uses its stalked pectoral fins and its pelvic fins to slowly
walk
across the bottom . frogfishes have been observed inflating themselves by filling their stomachs with air or water . this is a solitary species found in small populations .
warty frogfish ( antennarius maculatus ) are sedentary seafloor dwellers that can change colour over just a few weeks to seamlessly blend in with their surroundings . their disguise renders them invisible to unsuspecting prey that they snatch for dinner .


condessa ( 15 march 1978 – 2005 ) was an irish thoroughbred racehorse .

in two seasons of racing she was highly-tried , racing twenty-one times , winning five times and finishing second twice .

as a two-year-old she won two minor races from eight attempts , but appeared to be well behind the best of her generation .

in the following year she developed to become one of the best staying fillies of her generation in europe , beating an exceptionally strong field in the musidora stakes at york racecourse , finishing second in the irish oaks , and recording her biggest win at the same track when she won the yorkshire oaks .

her victories in 1981 were the first major successes for her trainer jim bolger .

she was later transferred to the united states where she made no impact and was retired from racing at the end of the year .

she has had some influence as a broodmare .

virtually all 500 , 000 of the world’s thoroughbred racehorses are descended from 28 ancestors , born in the 18 th and 19 th centuries , according to a new genetic study . and up to 95 % of male thoroughbreds can be traced back to just one stallion .
thoroughbred horses were developed in 18 th century in the uk . english mares were bred with arabian and other stallions to create horses with great stamina for distance racing . today , thoroughbreds are the most valuable of breeds , representing a multi - billion dollar annual industry , worldwide .
to assess the genetic diversity of modern racing horses , geneticist patrick cunningham of trinity college in dublin , ireland , compared 13 microsatellite dna loci – repeating sequences of dna which vary in length – in 211 thoroughbreds and 117 other shetland , egyptian and turkish horses . he also examined studbooks dating back to 1791 .
he found the majority of the half million progeny alive today are descended from just 28 “founder” horses .
it was already known that just a handful of stallions ( but many mares ) were used to found the thoroughbred breed . but startlingly , the new research finds that , in 95 % of modern racehorses , the y - chromosome can be traced back to a single stallion – the darley arabian , born in 1700 .
related work on sequencing the horse genome is also uncovering genes in thoroughbreds linked to speed and stamina . screening for these traits could one day guide owners’ and breeders’ decisions when buying horses , which may sell for many millions of dollars .
“we hope to produce sounder , faster and better - performing horses , ” says cunningham . he and colleague emmeline hill at university college dublin is also using the horse genome to uncover genes that explain why one animal runs faster than another .
“horses are flight animals naturally selected for speed and stamina in the wild , ” explains hill . “with domestic selection , speed was further augmented in the thoroughbred . ”
thirty - five per cent of the difference in racing performance between horses can be explained by genetics alone , says hill . she is cross - referencing up to 140 recently discovered human genes for fitness and performance in a bid to track down equine equivalents . these genes are involved in traits related to the cardio - respiratory system , muscle strength and metabolism , she says .
however , the analysis of thoroughbred genetics is also revealing the other side of the coin , notes matthew binns of the royal veterinary college in london , uk . many negative traits are associated with inbreeding in the diminutive gene pool , he says . “the selections we’ve made for fantastic beasts have had some detrimental consequences . ”
one tenth of thoroughbreds suffer orthopaedic problems and fractures , 10 % have low fertility , 5 % have abnormally small hearts and the majority suffer bleeding in the lungs , says binns .
but as well as allowing breeders to select for performance - related genes , elucidating the horse genome may allow researchers to breed out negative traits , he says .
“now we have a good amount of the horse genome , there are interesting times ahead , ” says binns . “over the next 10 years there will be some changes in this very traditional industry . ”
cunningham presented his findings on monday at the british association festival of science in dublin .

jim bolger has cracked racing better than anyone else alive . with no background in the game he has built his own training centre and his own studs to the extent that three quarters of his 100 horses , including dawn approach , the world’s most awaited three year old , have also been bred by him in his native ireland . and that’s before we start talking about the press ups . at 71 , jim still does 100 every morning .
“it’s a lazy man’s way of keeping fit , ” he says characteristically dry , witty and challenging at the same time . in the early days the challenge and the dryness were more marked than the wit and the warmth beneath . it made him both a formidable opponent and a fearsome employer accentuated by his own rigid no - smoking , no - drinking , mass - every - sunday regime , and by the self - belief necessary for his own entirely untutored entry into the training ranks . “he seemed to come from nowhere , ” says the lucid and legendary john oxx , himself the son of a trainer , “we looked at each other and said ‘jim who ? ’”
when they first asked the question jim was already all of 35 . by then most top trainers are a couple of classic winners into their careers having earlier spent several years sitting at the feet of some favoured mentor . jim had come via accountancy , car sales and show jumper trading , and as one of six siblings of a farming family in county wexford there was so little time for sitting down that he did not watch a film until he was 16 and did not see a traffic light until two years later when he went to dublin to start work as a cost clerk in an electrical firm .
thoughts that jim bolger , the cool , neat and meticulous mastermind who has saddled no less than five of the last seven dewhurst winners , was ever a mere horny handed son of soil are dispelled by the news that his father’s sister married robert brennan who became the irish free state’s first minister to washington having earlier been founder of the irish press newspaper , national director of elections for sinn fein and been condemned to death but not executed in the easter rising of 1916 . it may have been a simple farmhouse but there can’t have been many in county wexford in the early 50s with the new yorker on the table complete with stories from robert brennan’s daughter , jim’s cousin maeve , whose brilliant , troubled life is a cherished landmark on the irish literary scene just as her lipstick and nylon stocking appearance was a wondrous visitation to her uncle’s home .
nonetheless this was deepest , rural ireland with horses working the land and central to its being . jim was bright enough to move on from first school to the christian brothers in enniscorthy but vowed to make a living with horses someday . significantly his early experience was as much to do with dealing as riding . not for him the jockey and trainer’s nursery of pony racing and point to points , but the breaking and selling of young horses and , when possible , doing a bit of show jumping for himself . “for years while i was working in dublin , ” he said quietly as we watched dawn approach come out on to the woodchip gallop at the training base bolger has moulded on to the shoulder of coolcullen hill in county kilkenny , “i used to say that i had never lost money on a horse . i even sold a grade b show jumper to a young libyan called major gaddafi . wonder what happened to him . ”
jim loved his riding – “besides winning , ” he says , “the best thing in racing is riding a good jumper over fences at speed” – but he was always a pragmatist . “with the show jumpers i would ride them in the ordinary competitions but i was not good enough for the top classes and had a friend who rode them for me in them . i did have three winners from 12 rides in bumpers but that was only by default , and after i got kicked to bits in my second point to point i said that this was an indulgence i could not afford . ”
dawn approach is the ultimate example of how pragmatism is still attached to what he calls his original “grandiose dream that we would one day breed and run our own” . for after winning at royal ascot last summer he was sold to sheikh mohammed but stayed on at coolcullen just as his sire new approach did when the sheikh bought him after success in the 2007 dewhurst . dawn approach is slightly bigger , stronger and an even more lustrous copper chestnut than his father and without the unmanageable tendencies that saw new approach become the first horse to be ponied to the start before the derby . he won all six of his races last season , beginning with ireland’s very first two year old race of 2012 exactly a year ago this sunday .
when dawn approach won that day most people saw it as a brisk piece of bolger business to ensure new approach made a good start as a stallion . the idea that we had been looking at the future dewhurst winner seemed ridiculous – until you remembered who trained it . “jim was always very resourceful and had such a belief about him , ” says his long standing if not long suffering wife jackie , “that i always thought we would make it . ” marrying jackie in the dublin years was the best thing jim ever did and the partnership is infinitely deeper than the fact that their horses run in her white silks with the purple panel down the centre .
the plunge into full time training was taken on the back of selling a show jumper for £13 , 000 , almost eight times as much in today’s money . the former head of accounts for the o’flaherty group would then ride ten lots a day using gallops in the phoenix park which ended at the american embassy and his wife would pick up the pieces . “we only had three staff and david downey is with us still , ” jackie says simply . “we all had to get by . ”
two years later he was winning the musidora again with a filly called give thanks . she and her stable mate flame of tara were the best two of their sex in the country . it was jim’s first full season since moving from dublin to coolcullen . “i thought i would like to have a pair like them every year , ” he reflects wryly looking back at the high - hedged gallop up which dawn approach is about to wing on an “easy canter” having done a “half speed” the day before . “we were able to build two gallops here , the other is sand and both rise 150 feet , and to start the stud at redmondstown but it has not all been easy . i was never actually insolvent but there were times when we were certainly overtrading . ”
outwardly the flag continued to fly . he trained over a hundred winners a season three times between 1990 and 1994 and st jovite’s irish derby and king george victories in 1992 still make jim feel he was the best horse he has had so far . but a combination of major owners either dying or leaving and a disastrous conviction that breeders cup winner last tycoon would make a leading stallion almost cleaned bolger out . “it was a disaster” admits the trainer . “i sent mares to him and bought his stock and got nothing . it cost me practically everything , hundreds of thousands of pounds . ”
but jackie bolger had not been wrong to trust to her husband’s resourcefulness . “for 15 years before i began training i had been invisible in racing , ” says jim , “but i had always been to the sales , always studied pedigrees , had my own ideas . we began to build up our mares . that ‘grandiose’ dream’ took shape . ” as the world now knows he hit the jackpot by backing the stallion galileo and selling both new approach and the unbeaten dewhurst winner teofilo to sheikh mohammed at a life changing profit . but the horses have not just delivered because of their breeding . the way jim bolger trains them makes you shake your head in both wonder and surprise .
ahead of us on the gallop dawn approach touches 50 kph , his red gold tail flowing elegantly behind the smooth punching of those hindquarters . jim may finally depend on his original wexford horseman’s instinct or his years of pedigree study to take his training and breeding decisions , but having built things up in his own way he is prepared to use as many modern aids as seem appropriate . there is a treadmill for controlled exercise which was crucial in getting new approach back after mid - season injury and which dawn approach was on three times a week during his winter break . there is a gps system to track all fast work . there are scales to log weights every thursday and two days after every race . and the results of the equinome genetics testing system has become central to bolger’s planning of his breeding operation and his analysis of his horses .
the system categorizes a horse’s stamina capabilities from a tt for middle distance to a cc for sheer speed . “galileo was a tt but he had class , ” says jim slipping effortlessly into the detail . “the ideal for a classic horse is ct . new approach was a ct while dawn approach is a cc . i trained his dam who had talent although she got injured , but she was by a sprinter so the derby distance is unlikely , but as he settles so well , i would not rule it out entirely . ”
adrian taylor slides out of the saddle and dawn approach is led off for a 20 minute cool down on the walker . he had been ridden for just 15 minutes but would have been on the machine for twenty minutes at the walk and 15 at the trot before adrian took over and , unlike many top stables in both ireland and england , he would also do full exercise on sunday . “he’s very much where i want him , ” says the trainer , “he would be 512 kilos now . he went up to 525 during the winter after running in the dewhurst at 495 . he will probably be on 500 for the guineas . of all the mechanical aids the one i would least like to lose is the weigh bridge but i am chasing fitness not chasing scales and anyway the most important element in the whole operation are the riders . we have some 13 very good ones and four or five who are exceptional . the riders are everything . remember what adrian said to me at the end of dawn approach’s canter – ‘who would have thought that new approach would sire something better than him in his very first crop . ’”
out they come again . there is adrian taylor on grand criterium de saint cloud winner loch garman – “he’s a lovely big horse , 535 at the moment , goes for the derrinstown and then the irish guineas . ” there is pat o’donovan on 2011 dewhurst winner parish hall who could not run last here – “he’s in great shape and will have a good season . ” there is ronan whelan on trading leather – “could be my derby horse , but must have good ground . ” all three colts are home bred and run in the bolger colours just as did their sire teofilo and all will be ridden as the sire was by bolger’s son in law kevin manning . loyalty and family excellence does not come any greater than this .
head man brian o’connor strides over . he is young , bright , carrot - haired and earnest . he makes you think of aidan o’brien and a . p . mccoy , the two most famous of the other young men who would have looked at jim bolger in that way . time was when jim had a seemingly well won reputation of being a control freak and litigious to boot . several times he took on and beat the turf club albeit the last occasion was the hardly onerous task of overturning apprentice ronan whelan’s conviction for excessive use of the whip by pointing out that his jockey had dropped the wretched thing at the start . but today’s jim bolger has a serenity amidst the precision . he claims to run the redmondstown stud with just one ten minute phone call to his nephew kevin each morning , that he has not actually stepped into his five staff office since christmas , and that while he does not indulge in soft things like holidays his idea of a break is to take off to dublin for four days to read books , meet friends and go to the theatre . “they say that i have 102 employees , ” he says , “but i tell them there are 102 people who have just one employee . that’s me and i will only go on as long as i want it to .
over a ridiculously lucky racing life i have been privileged to visit many of the most famous places in the racing game . in all that time the only self - created , cradle - to - grave , one man breeding and training operation to compare would be the one that colin hayes crafted amongst the sighing gum trees of the barossa valley 80 km up from adelaide . but even colin was dependent on investors like robert sangster . jim bolger rides alone . “i don’t have nearly enough words to describe him properly but i do have one , ” says kevin manning , “the man’s a genius . ”

“i think my father thought i might be president of the united states . i think he would ' ve been satisfied with secretary of state . i ' m a foreign policy person and to have a chance to serve my country as the nation’s chief diplomat at a time of peril and consequence , that was enough . ”

“miss rice is like my sister . we are completely in sync . when she speaks , you know that she is speaking for me . ”
condoleezza rice is the first black woman to serve as the united states ' national security adviser , as well as the first black woman to serve as u . s . secretary of state ( 2005 - 09 ) .
condoleezza rice was born in 1954 in alabama . she became the first woman and first african american to serve as provost of stanford university .
in 2001 , rice was appointed national security adviser by president george w . bush , becoming the first black woman ( and second woman ) to hold the post , and went on to become the first black woman to serve as u . s . secretary of state .
condoleezza rice was born on november 14 , 1954 in birmingham , alabama . the only child of a presbyterian minister and a teacher , rice grew up surrounded by racism in the segregated south .
she earned her bachelor & apos ; s degree in political science from the university of denver in 1974 ; her master & apos ; s from the university of notre dame in 1975 ; and her ph . d . from the university of denver & apos ; s graduate school of international studies in 1981 .
that same year , she joined stanford university as a political science professor—a position that she has held for more than three decades and plans to soon return to , full - time , according to a statement she made in 2012 .
in 1993 , rice became the first woman and first african american to serve as provost of stanford university—a post she held for six years . during that time , she also served as the university & apos ; s chief budget and academic officer .
in the mid - 1980s , rice spent a period in washington , d . c . , working as an international affairs fellow attached to the joint chiefs of staff . in 1989 , she became director of soviet and east european affairs with the national security council , and special assistant to president george h . w . bush during the dissolution of the soviet union and german reunification .
in 1997 , she served on the federal advisory committee on gender - integrated training in the military .
a few years later , in 2001 , rice was appointed national security adviser by president george w . bush , becoming the first black woman ( and second woman ) to hold the post . she went on to become the first black woman to serve as u . s . secretary of state—she became the nation & apos ; s 66th secretary of state in 2004 , following colin powell & apos ; s resignation , and served from january 2005 to 2009 .
as secretary of state , rice dedicated her department to
transformational diplomacy ,
with a mission of building and sustaining democratic , well - governed states around the world and the middle east in particular .
to that end , she relocated american diplomats to such hardship locations as iraq , afghanistan and angola , and required them to become fluent in two foreign languages . she also created a high - level position to defragment u . s . foreign aid .
rice & apos ; s books include germany unified and europe transformed ( 1995 ) with philip zelikow , the gorbachev era ( 1986 ) with alexander dallin and uncertain allegiance : the soviet union and the czechoslovak army ( 1984 ) .
in august 2012 , rice and south carolina businesswoman darla moore became the first women to ( simultaneously ) become members of the augusta national golf club , located in augusta , georgia .
the event was monumental : the augusta national golf club , which opened in 1933 , had infamously been known for its all - male membership and repeated failure to admit women .
just a few weeks later , on august 29 , 2012 , rice attended the republican national convention in tampa , florida , showing her support for the republican party & apos ; s 2012 election candidates , mitt romney and paul ryan .
rice delivered a riveting speech on the second day of the convention , spurring positive media attention :
i think my father thought i might be president of the united states . i think he would & apos ; ve been satisfied with secretary of state . i & apos ; m a foreign policy person and to have a chance to serve my country as the nation & apos ; s chief diplomat at a time of peril and consequence , that was enough ,
she said , adding that her future plans focus on being an educator , not a politician .
i & apos ; ll go back and be a happy stanford faculty member ,
rice said .
and , obviously , i & apos ; ll do what i can to help this ticket . but my life is in palo alto . my future is with my students at stanford and in public service on issues that i care about like education reform .
we strive for accuracy and fairness . if you see something that doesn ' t look right , contact us !
