Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 2nd Edition. Condition of hardback book and dustjacket: Near Fine. A sturdy, clean copy with protective plastic cover. An influential treatise on racehorse breeding, delineating Lowe's figure system, based on the premise that every horse in the modern General Stu…d Book originated via the female family from one of forty-three 'root mares'. Lowe's system has been criticised for overgeneralising different aptitudes within different families. Written by C. Bruce Lowe. Edited by William Allison. Around 1895 an Australian, Bruce Lowe, wrote: Breeding Racehorses by the Figure System . He formulated a system of family numbers from the mares listed in the General Stud Book. Lowe believed that the three foundation sires of the Thoroughbred were successful largely due to the mares they were bred to, and so predicting race horse quality required identification and assessment of the mare lines.[5] Lowe stated, The figures are derived from a statistical compilation of the winners of the three great English classic races, Derby, Oaks and St. Leger. The family with the largest number of wins is No. 1, the next No. 2 and so on up to No. 43, and include families whose descendants have not won a classic race. 251pp.
