    P ARK HOUSE STABLES SPRING MAGAZINE 2021 INTRODUCTION P ARK HOUSE STABLES AMB t is hard to believe that twelve months have passed since we first entered a COVID-19 lockdown. 2020 is a year that few people will want to Iremember, with hardships for so many. There is, however, light at the end of the tunnel, and as spring approaches and more people are vaccinated perhaps it is time to start believing that this summer might resemble something we probably all took for granted in pre-COVID years. Never again will I complain about not finding a parking space at the racecourse or having to queue for a coffee in the Owners & Trainers bar! With the prospect of normality approaching we have embarked upon some exciting new projects for the coming season. With our absolute priority remaining to achieve the best and safest working surfaces for the horses we have replaced the Side Glance gallop with an Activetrack surface from Martin Collins. This has already proved to be a huge success, as has the building of an arena to help with the re-training of a small selection of retired racehorses at Kingsclere and to give a further training option for BOUNCE THE BLUES gleaming in the winter sun as she heads out to exercise horses who need a change from the gallops.

    COMPILED SPECIFICALLY FOR Frankel (GB) STALLION AFFINITY REPORT A comprehensive stallion analysis with all active broodmare sires Copyright © 2020 The Jockey Club Information Systems, Inc. STALLION AFFINITY 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.
