Even though attention of the media and horse-racing fans is exclusively focused on performance of the  horse on racetrack, or success as sire (in case of male horses), a bit of publicity is given to the brood mares as well. This thing has occurred in case of ‘La Troienne’, who is reported to be one amongst the most significant mares belonging to the twentieth century. You might know that most of the supreme champions, dams of the champions can be traced to La Troienne.

In majority of flat horse races, exclusive of steeplechases, horse’s pedigree is amongst the things allowing it of racing. Horse should have a dam, i.e. mother, and a sire, i.e. father, who’re purebred individuals with respect to the breed racing. For instance- in any of the normal harness races, the horses ‘dam’ and ‘sire’ should, both be ‘Pure Standardbreds’.

The stallion winning many races would generally be put to stud after retirement. In other words, mare’s owner can make payment for breeding mare of his to that specific stallion. The expenses incurred in breeding the mare are directly proportional to stallion’s success. The owner serious regarding racing would, by all means, pay handsomely for breeding the successful stallion.
