  • BROODMARE ANALYSIS REPORT a Broodmare’S Nicking Analysis with up to 50 Potential Stallions
    COMPILED SPECIFICALLY FOR Tempo BROODMARE ANALYSIS REPORT A broodmare’s nicking analysis with up to 50 potential stallions Copyright © 2011 The Jockey Club Information Systems, Inc. BROODMARE ANALYSIS REPORT TrueNicks: An Explanation Nicks in History Compatibilities between stallions from one sire line with mares of another sire line has helped shape the breed since the Eclipse/Herod cross of the late 18th century. These successful crosses, called nicks, have impacted Thoroughbred development through such examples as Hermit/Stockwell, Lexington/Glencoe, Bend Or/Macaroni, and Phalaris/Chaucer. In the modern era, the prolific Mr. Prospector/Northern Dancer cross has produced outstanding racehorses and sires such as Kingmambo, Distorted Humor, and Elusive Quality. Fast-Forward to the 21st Century Computer databases have made it possible to measure and rate nicks, giving rise to a commercial market for such statistics. The first nick ratings offered to the public, though popular, were compromised by incomplete data and yielded results based on hypothetical rather than actual opportunity. This statistical gap was the impetus behind the development of TrueNicks. A Statistically Valid Approach Unlike other ratings that are calculated based on hypothetical opportunity within a limited group of horses, TrueNicks references the international database of The Jockey Club—the world’s most complete record of Thoroughbreds and their performance—to produce a sophisticated rating based on all starters and stakes winners on a given cross. The Statistics The TrueNicks rating is derived from two statistical elements: the Sire Improvement Index (SII) and the Broodmare Sire Improvement Index (BSII). Each figure compares the percentage of progeny stakes winners to starters.

  • Multiple G1 Winner Cirrus Des Aigles Retired
    TUESDAY, 29 MARCH 2016 BOBBY’S KITTEN ROMPS ON IRISH DEBUT MULTIPLE G1 WINNER While there was no doubting the class edge that Ken and CIRRUS DES AIGLES RETIRED Sarah Ramsey’s re-stabled 2014 GI Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint hero Bobby’s Kitten (Kitten’s Joy) enjoyed in Monday’s Listed Cork S., particularly following the scratching of fellow top-level scorer Gordon Lord Byron (Ire) (Byron {GB}), Ireland’s typically testing spring turf did raise a question mark on his first outing since finishing fourth for the Chad Brown barn in that same contest at Keeneland in October. Bounced out to lay up close to the early pace, the bay took control passing the quarter pole and stretched clear under an admiring Pat Smullen. “Obviously his form spoke for itself, but it was hard to be confident with the ground the way it is,” his rider said. “He’s a free-going sort who does his work on his own. I didn’t know if he’d handle the ground. His ability got him out of trouble rather than going on it and in the last furlong he was lying up on the fence looking for a bit of help.” Cont. p3 Cirrus des Aigles winning the 2014 Coronation Cup | Racing Post LANI A FITTING AMERICAN VISITOR In the latest installment of ‘Pedigree Insights’, Andrew Caulfield Cirrus Des Aigles (Fr) (Even Top {Ire}--Taille de Guepe {Fr}, by takes a closer look at Saturday’s G2 UAE Derby hero Lani Septieme Ciel), a seven-time Group 1 winner in three different (Tapit) and his ties to champion Sunday Silence.
