Bloodline_ The Search for Speed
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 сер 2024
- Bloodline is a short film that depicts historical selective breeding of horses for speed with a focus on Ireland's contribution to excellence in Thoroughbred horse breeding.
The film emphasizes the significance of Science Foundation Ireland's funded research into Thoroughbred horse genomics at University College Dublin in the context of the global Thoroughbred horse racing and breeding industries.
The story features one of the world's highest ranked racehorses horses of 2013, Dawn Approach, who represents a pinnacle of modern horse speed.
Dawn Approach has the C:C genetic type "The Speed Gene", which has been selected for short distance sprint racing performance for centuries.
The film focuses on the horse's physical superiority and unique character, and captures the essence of speed using innovative filming techniques.
The short film is a creative collaboration between Director Harvey Jones and scientist Dr Emmeline Hill. It is the first step in a vision to create a further documentary film focusing on the evolution and diversity of the horse globally.
Harvey is in an experienced producer, director and writer of science and wildlife documentaries with the BBC, Channel 4 and ITV and has awards for writing and directing. Emmeline is a UCD Lecturer in Equine Science and leads the Equine Exercise Genomics research group funded by Science Foundation Ireland at the UCD School of Agriculture and Food Science. She has been at the forefront of Thoroughbred performance genomics during the last decade and has published more scientific papers on equine exercise genomics than any other researcher worldwide.
Harvey and wildlife cameraman Max Hug Williams filmed at locations in the UK and Ireland for Bloodline. Max has worked in wildlife television for over twelve years; both as a cameraman and producer, he now has over 50 credits on award winning series such as Africa, Human Planet, Frozen Planet, Planet Earth Live and Operation Snow Tiger.
This film was made with the support of Science Foundation Ireland and co-funded under the Programme for Research in Third-Level Institutions (PRTLI) 'Investing in your Future'
The project was supported by UCD Research.

Call it beast call it a horse know it's a creation of the al mighty. Absolutely beautiful
All horses are Great. Every single one.
Debatable
What makes a tb horse "champion", beside muscles & conformation; nervous system, running characteristics and how intelligent it is, + level of cooperation with humans. What an academic tosh.
Thoroughbred owners call it " heart" the look of eagles.
I know, the breed I've loved &, owned.
I love race horses and all other horses.
see my pedigrees of famous race horses at www.picturepedigree.com
Big red had that gene 🧬 plus a 21 pound heart. amazing animals
instaBlaster.
And unfortunately, even as one of the greatest racehorses in history, he failed to pass these genes on to his progeny 😢😢
Ascendants , Darley Arabian - Eclipse , Byerley Turk - Herod , Godolphin Arabian - Matchem ... Speed gen + hard , hard , hard work training...
Beautiful!!!!
when I saw Dawn Approach I immediately thought of Secretariat
Pfft of course you did.
tanks for evolution and great equinos
Nothing about what they're going to do with this "speed gene" or is it detectable in foals or are the future parents going to be chosen by the presence of it or what the practical use of this discovery is. Because none of the breaders seem to be implying this method, they still buy top thoroughbreds and hope for the best.
A confusing video.
Great video. Although i could do without the added speculation, about the origin of horse domestication, "Scythians" and what not. None of that has any evidence behind it.
Can they obtain a hair from the unquestionablly greatest thoroughbred racehorse of all time Secretariat and determine his "speed gene"? He won effortlessly from 6f to 13f so would like to know what his optimum distance was.
Bold Ruler and the large heart of a Princiquillo daughter is what made him who he was
Connor Duke it wasn't a speed gene,he had the biggest heart ever in a horse,20lbs in weight, twice as big as all the other's...
Bigger than Phar Lap?
Seabiscuit was the greatest horse of ALL time!
That's truly laughable. Frankel is regarded the finest thoroughbred racehorse of all time boasting an unbeaten record. Not even Secretariat has a record to match. European horses don't use Lasix as a masking agent for dope!
The Irish have a secret for producing the best Horse breathers in the world
You just have to really love everything to do with horses ...
And in the end, these horses go to slaughter houses. So sad. All for greed. Over breeding ...starts there.
Real simple. Their quest to find an opening to flee mankind back to their original home. Free from the arrogance deception and self dilluded psychosis of Mankind.
We flee from thee.
nice
he goes back to la troienne, thats the key to his succses
🔵THERE'S ONLY ONE GREAT HORSE AND HE'S NAME WAS SECRETARIAT!🔴
Man O War. Tougher conditions. And his " get" were outstanding.
What Churchill said is True about all horses. *
The outside of a horse is good for the inside of a man. ( woman).
Muy bueno
What good is blood line if the Irish have no clue about hooves..........
What are you on about
"Forged by nature" my ass! God created this magnificent beast.
+MultiDancing1 Not forged by God and not nature, either. Thoroughbreds are the products of human domestication. That's why they are so fragile and prone to health problems of intensely inbred animals such as infertility.
We wouldn't even have horses if it wasn't for God. There's not much on this earth that humans can take full credit for.
NO Man or woman, can make or ever make one item/thing/object,
" 100% PERFECT " "Only One Man Makes Things PERFECT ". The Man Above.
MultiDancing1 Amen!
Eclipse's DNA can be found in 90% of all thoroughbreds to this day. 18 wins from 18 races. A horse arguably superior only to Frankel.
Ridiculous inane comment.
Congrats on one of the most foolish statements made on UA-cam.
Uhm Eclipse was from an extra class, Frankel is not from that class... Kincsem was for example
Those poor horses with those mask on running on a darn treadmill. That's so unnatural!
That's not unnatural.. Its the test to keep the horse healthy
Shut up
You think having a rider on there backs is natural?
Melania MoneyPenny omg your all so fucking annoying. Shut up. We domesticated them to help make our lives easier.

Hi
There goes the art of horse breeding. Just pull a little blood and make frankenhorse. So sad.
And then there was Secretariat...
Dirt horses don't compare . 😅
Well they left out the slaughterhouses the horses go to when they fulfill the purposes. All for greed. Dishonorable and disgusting. The unacceptable horses become meat for greed.
No they get retrained...and anyway what’s not to like about horse burgers 🍔 delicious with relish
If u hate horse racing why are u watching? I bet u are one of those idiots chaining themselves to fences at the grand national 🙄
Llpl
A steroid jab would decide🤣
