What is a C:T?

A C:T horse has a mixture of speed and stamina and is the most versatile in terms of distance. A C:T horse can perform well as a two-year-old, but is best suited to races between 7 - 12 f (1400 - 2400 m). Only C:T horses are likely to win both one mile (1600 m) and one mile and a half (2400 m) Group races. A C:T stallion is more likely to produce winning two-year-olds if compatible mares are used. The progeny of a C:T mare over her life-span will be C:C (25%), C:T (50%) or T:T (25%), and these proportions can shift towards more speed (C:C and C:T) if a C:C stallion is used or towards more stamina (C:T and T:T) if a T:T stallion is used.
