Author, Marianna Haun, passed away February 12th. Known for her series of controversial books on her X-Factor research..."The X-Factor", "Understanding The Power Of The X-Factor" and "Solving the Mystery of Secretariat's Heart". She certainly got many owners and breeders into the conversation, both for and against her research. TJ

Rest In Peace Marianne Haun.

Lord grant rest to her soul.

As I think about it, while the genetics basis of her approach was off, her focus on the heart - which really wasn't something that people placed that much emphasis on (despite Secretariat), did make for a lot more interest in that part of physiology, which is vitally important. People are now putting a lot more emphasis on measuring heart capacities and capabilities these days.
