On the use of Elo rating on harness racing results in the genetic evaluation of trotter
The official results of trotters in Italian harness racings have been used to get AM-BLUP estimates
of genetic parameters, EBVs and rTI of three groups of traits: speed (racing time, annual best time,
best time in career between 2- and 5-year old), earnings (earnings/start, annual earnings, total
earnings between 2- and 5-year old) and Elo system traits (underlying performance and final
rating). The Elo system has been used for half a century in chess players rating, and it has been
modified and fitted to several games and sports: it has already been used for genetic evaluation of
sport horses in France. The highest heritability estimates in each group of traits have been found for
best time (.430±.014), total earnings (.271±.013) and Elo final rating (.270±.008). The choice of
“k”, the Elo ratings updating factor, did not show a key role in affecting the results. The underlying
performance heritability and repeatability have been estimated .159±.004 and .420±.007
respectively. The Elo-based systems proved to be very promising in objectively evaluating trotters
