Abstract

ABSTRACT Norwegian-Swedish Coldblooded Trotters can participate in premie races as two year olds, where prize money is awarded for finishing the race within a specific time interval rather than winning. In this study, the association with premie race participation and future competitive racing success was evaluated. Analyses including all raced horses born between 2000 and 2009 (n = 9350) showed a relationship between premie race participation with reduced career longevity and prize money earnings. However, when analyses only included horses that raced competitively (n = 7497; i.e. horses with participation in only premie or qualification races were excluded), premie race participation was associated with increased racing success. These findings indicate that premie race fields consist of both horses with good racing ability as well as horses with limited talent. Overall this study shows that premie racing is likely to be beneficial for both the horse and the trainer.

在挪威-瑞典混血的冷血赛马中，参加顶级比赛与职业生涯寿命延长和奖金收入增加有关

挪威-瑞典混血的冷血快马可以在两岁时参加顶级比赛，在比赛中，在特定的时间间隔内完成比赛而不是获胜，奖金将被授予。在本研究中，我们评估了首次参加比赛与未来竞技赛车成功的关系。对2000年至2009年间出生的所有参赛马(n = 9350)的分析显示，参加顶级赛事与职业生涯寿命缩短和奖金收入之间存在关系。然而，当分析只包括有竞争力的马时(n = 7497;例如，只参加高级或资格赛的马被排除在外)，高级比赛的参与与比赛成功的增加有关。这些发现表明，优秀的赛马场地既包括优秀的赛马能力，也包括天赋有限的赛马。总的来说，这项研究表明，顶级比赛可能对马和训练师都有益。
