For three years in a row, a machine learning algorithm that learned to predict off past results data provided by BrisNet, has crushed the Kentucky Derby result, but you'll be lucky if you hear about it outside of this blog as it's not something that the mainstream horse media necessarily want to hear - a machine doing better than the human pundit (where have we seen this before!) Eureqa is a machine learning program that uses evolutionary algorithms (that is algorithms that l

On the run out of the Northern Hemisphere yearling sales and into the Southern Hemisphere one, we've been doing a lot more data modeling using different tools to weigh statistical data (like foal rank; age of mare; generational interval, etc), biomechanical data (leg length, girth, body length, etc), cardiac data (Left Ventricular measurements) and genetic data (SNPs of exercise relevant genes) to build a single unified model and improve our thoroughbred sales selection proce
