Primer on Dosage and the 2012 Triple Crown

William T. Ziemba

Chapter 17 in Sports Analytics, 2022, pp 257-281 from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: This chapter describes a very useful breeding concept. Certain horses called chef-de-race tend to determine the breed speed-stamina characteristics consistently in their offspring. Then a dosage index can be used to better evaluate individual horses in particular races, especially the Kentucky Derby and the Belmont Stakes where the horses have never run that distance before. I also discuss the 2012 Triple Crown races.
