Each year, the pedibabblers pick all the losers based on dosage and other 
pediconcoctions and they are invariably wrong. Certainly, athletic ability is 
nice to have--genetics counts for about 40% of athletic performance in human 
athletes. But the equine genetic theories spouted by pedibabblers are 
basically all hogwash, based on fantasy, not science.
