A method is presented for analysing horse performance recorded as a series of ranks obtained in races or competitions. The model is based on the assumption of the existence of an underlying normal variable. Then the rank of an animal is merely the phenotypic expression of the value of this underlying variable relative to that of the other horses entering the same competition. The breeding values of the animals are estimated as the mode of the a posteriori density of the data in a Bayesian context. Calculation of this mode entails solving a non-linear system by iteration. An example involving the results of races of 2-yr-old French trotters in 1986 is given. Practical computing methods are presented and discussed.Cet article présente un...
