Abstract:
1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for selecting a racehorse candidate having a better than average likelihood of becoming a high earner, the computer-readable storage medium having stored therein computer executable instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform the steps comprising: (i) receiving first data indicative of an ultrasonographically-obtained measurement of the width of the ventricular septal wall of an unraced racehorse candidate; (ii) retrieving a stored data set comprising ultrasonographically-obtained measurements from a group of horses, wherein said collection of measurements comprises ventricular septal wall width measurements for at least about 75 horses of about the same age, sex, and weight as said racehorse candidate; and (iii) generating a prediction indication from a comparison of the first data and the data set, wherein the comparison determines whether the unraced racehorse candidate has an ultrasonographically-obtained ventricular septal wall width measurement that is greater than the mean ultrasonographically-obtained ventricular septal wall width measurement from said data set, said determination based on a comparison of said first data with said data set; and (iv) outputting the prediction indication.
