Pedigrees play a crucial role in a horse’s potential performance. Here are some key aspects to consider:
Black type indicates a horse’s success in major races. A deep pedigree with multiple black type winners suggests a strong potential for success. Blacktype in different geographies should be treated with different levels of respect. While historically a wonderful racing nation, Italian black type would not be as strong as the Japanese blacktype.
Official ratings provide a more accurate measure of a horse’s ability than black type alone. Pay attention to ratings when evaluating pedigrees. The Racing Post website can be an invaluable tool for this.
Consider both the sire and dam’s performance and pedigree. Proven sires and dams with successful progeny increase the likelihood of producing a quality racehorse. Don’t get drawn in on looks alone.
Stay updated on current trends and fashionable sires. However, value can often be found in proven sires that may be temporarily out of fashion. When others zig, don’t be afraid to zag.
By understanding black type, ratings, and the performance of both the sire and dam, you can better evaluate pedigrees and make informed decisions in breeding and purchasing racehorses.
