  • 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.

  • Bill Oppenheim, December 13, 2006–Top Value: George Washington from the DESK OF
    Bill Oppenheim, December 13, 2006–Top Value: George Washington FROM THE DESK OF... Bill Oppenheim TOP VALUE: GEORGE WASHINGTON It=s not often the market leads Coolmore--usually, it=s the other way around. So the fact that even they evidently succumbed to the hype about George Washington=s quirks, by setting his initial stud fee at what, in my opinion, is half price compared to his >true= market value, is a hint that shrewd breeders on both sides of the Pond should be taking. Here=s your chance to breed to a horse who should be standing at stud for $150,000 for i60,000--roughly the equivalent of $75,000. That=s why--in spite of the fact that >value= stallions usually stand for either side of $10,000-- George Washington is my choice as >number one value stallion= of the year for 2007. He=s a spectacular individual (top-priced yearling of his year in Europe: 1,150,000gns at Tattersalls October 1 in 2004). He=s by Danehill, and he=s closely related to the top-class Grandera out of an Alysheba mare bred by the Wildensteins. As a two-year-old, he ran an RPR (Racing Post Rating, roughly the equivalent of Timeform) 121 when running off (by eight lengths) with the G1 Phoenix S., and followed that up with a win (not nearly so high a rating, though) in the G1 National $12,500 live foal (859) 233-4252 www.claibornefarm.com S., always Ireland=s best race for two-year-olds.
