  • Where Are We Going?

  • If Desert Party Romps, Street Cry Is the New Mr. P

    I haven't paid too much attention to the Godolphin phenom Desert Party (profile) -- I've already made it clear who will win the 2009 Kentucky Derby! -- but he's worth a good look. Desert Party is a good example of a Thoroughbred female family branch that has lay nearly dormant for several generations but which is showing signs of ...

  • A Year On -- TrueNicks Scores From the 2008 March OBS Sale of 2-Year-Olds

    As a prelude to the stallion study -- which is currently ''under construction'' as we determine the best way to track all the horses that we have rated by each sire throughout the world -- we thought that it was worthwhile going back and taking a look at the 2008 OBS March sale of 2-year-olds to examine the horses that rated well ...

  • Inbreeding Notations in Thoroughbred Pedigrees
