PLUSVITAL, the Irish equine science company, has announced the launch of another genetic test, the Racing GenePak, further advancement on the original Speed Gene Test.

The new test promises to help a trainer determine a horse’s optimum race distance, increase their strike-rates and even manage expectations on two-year-old performance. Plusvital acquired Equinome, the University College Dublin (UCD) equine genomic testing company, in 2015.
