Here's and excerpt:

"Around 80 per cent of modern thoroughbred racehorses have in their pedigree the 18th century horse Eclipse (died 1789), which went its entire racing career unbeaten. 200 years later the question of what makes a fast racehorse still perplexes trainers and racing fans but researchers at The Royal Veterinary College may have found the answer to this and other questions on animal locomotion."

I love that place...
Lots of press releases from the Uni where I work get posted there. Sometimes at lunch I just browse, always learn something.
