WoW!!! if this is true it's mind blowing!!! Scientists have discovered liquid blood inside the carcass of an extinct foal preserved for 42,000 years in the Siberian permafrost, it was announced today. It is believed to be the oldest blood ever found in the world - and boosts hopes of cloning back to life the long-gone Lenskaya species of prehistoric horse. Look here for the story and amazing pictures..... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/science...LOOD-frozen-remains-42-000-year-old-foal.html
Extinct ancient foal in pioneering cloning experiment is older than initially believed "The light ginger-coloured carcass of the long-gone species of horse was found in the permafrost in Yakutia, the coldest region in Russia. Experts initially said it was between 30,000 and 40,000 years old". "Now Semyon Grigoryev, leading researcher at the Mammoth Museum in Yakutsk, has revealed: 'The exact age turned out to be 42,170.’ Radiocarbon tests were carried out by South Korean professor Hwang Woo-suk with whom Siberian scientists are collaborating in efforts to clone a number of extinct species preserved in permafrost - including the woolly mammoth".

The horse looks like a speedy type. Maybe he can be cloned with thoroughbred genes to produce a fast racing horse? As for cloning of Mammoths, I see giant meat factories that could roam where the buffalo used to roam. First, expensive novelty meat for elites, and if the clones become fertile, meat for the masses perhaps. Heard rumors five years ago that mammoths were sighted in Siberia.
