The presence of osteophytes on the dorsoproximal aspect of the middle phalanx of the hind limbs was significantly associated with an increased odds of earning money as a 4-year-old. Radiographic lesions of the medial femoral condyle of the stifle joint were not significantly associated with subsequent performance.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE<\/jats:bold> Most abnormalities identified on repository radiographs were not significantly associated with subsequent performance. The significant association between mild tarsal osteophytosis and earnings was unexpected. Results of the present study indicated the need for further investigation of the relationship between radiographic findings and performance outcome in Western performance horses.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.252.1.108","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,15]],"date-time":"2017-12-15T21:17:40Z","timestamp":1513372660000},"page":"108-115","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Relationship between repository radiographic findings and subsequent performance of Quarter Horses competing in cutting events"],"prefix":"10.2460","volume":"252","author":[{"given":"Myra F.","family":"Barrett","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"C.
