Abstract

This study evaluated the relationships between some
environmental factors and race performance of purebred Arabian racehorses in
the Turkish Jockey Club. For this purpose, the belonging 60 purebred Arabian
horses (45 males and 15 females) which registered to Turkish Jockey Club was
benefited from 3087 races records. In the research, the effect of gender, age,
race distance, dam age, and the city in which the race took place to race
performance on the turf and dirt track was investigated. In the environmental
factors affecting race speeds of horses were found statistically different. The
turf track, dirt track and general average of the race speed were calculated as
14.45±0.02 m/sec, 13.52±0.01m/sec and 13.77±0.01 m/sec, respectively. The
horses’s race performance results; it was better than others the turf track,
male, short distance, 9-12 dam age, 3 age, and Istanbul, for the race track,
gender, race distances, dam age, race age, and race city, respectively. In
conclusion, it is thought that performing of similar studies with more horses
and more comprehensive studies may be more useful in examining the race
performance of horses.

Abstract

Bu çalışma, Türkiye
Jokey Kulübü’ndeki Safkan Türk Arap atlarının bazı çevresel faktörler ve yarış
performansları arasındaki ilişkilerin belirlenmesi amacıyla
gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu amaçla Türkiye Jokey Kulübü’ne kayıtlı 60 safkan Arap
atına ait (45 erkek ve 15 dişi) 3087 yarış kaydından yararlanılmıştır.
Araştırmada çim ve kum pistteki koşu performansına cinsiyet, yaş, mesafe, ana
yaşı, ve yarışın yapıldığı şehrin etkisi incelenmiştir. Atların yarış hızlarını
etkileyen bu çevresel faktörlerde istatiksel olarak farklılıklar bulunmuştur.
Yarış hızının çim pist, kum pist ve genel ortalaması sırasıyla 14.45±0.02 m/sn,
13.52±0.01 m/sn ve 13.77±0.01 m/sn olarak hesaplanmıştır.
Atların yarış performans sonuçlarında; çim pist,
erkek, kısa mesafe, 9-12 ana yaşı, 3 yaş ve İstanbul verileri diğerlerinden,
sırasıyla yarış pisti, cinsiyet, yarış mesafesi, ana yaşı, koşu yaşı ve yarış
şehri bakımından daha iyi sonuçlar vermiştir. Sonuç olarak, daha fazla at
sayısına sahip ve daha kapsamlı benzer çalışmaların yapılması atların yarış
performansının incelenmesinde daha faydalı olabileceği düşünülmektedir.
