Dosage Index, according to its modern practitioner, Dr. Steven Roman, measures the aptitude of a horse's sire to transmit prepotent characteristics to its offspring in relation to its progeny's speed and ability to carry speed over varying distances.
The index is broken down into five aptitudinal groups: Brilliant, Intermediate, Classic, Solid and Professional. The ideal pedigree is a balance of speed, the Brilliant and Intermediate wings, to the stamina component, the Solid and Professional categories. The center value, or Classic group, reflects optimum balance in ther pedigree.

Hmm...There was a horse, a plater, named after Wes Gaffer. He ran and ran, never winning, with Wes religiously betting $2 on him each time. Finally, they gelded the horse. He ran and won, and paid boxcars for an unlimited browsergame. At the time, you could bet a minimum of $1 in New York, and Wes was down to betting just that on his namesake. So even though he cashed, Wes still didn’t get out. “Gelding Wes Gaffer was the unkindest cut,” Wes wrote in the News.
