Claim One:
1. A method of selecting an unraced racehorse candidate having a better than average likelihood of becoming a high earner, said method comprising: (i) measuring the width of the ventricular septal wall of said racehorse candidate—utilizing an ultrasound machine; (ii) comparing said measurement to a collection of 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) selecting said racehorse candidate if it has an ultrasonographically-obtained ventricular septal wall width measurement that is greater than the mean ultrasonographically-obtained ventricular septal wall width measurement from said collection of measurements.
