I was unaware the Algorithms even existed, which goes to show you how brain dead I can be when I entered him into my databank. However, when I saw he was in the Holy Bull I researched his pedigree and found that he was the result of two of my successive breedings on his tail-female line. I want to b...

I would never have bet anyone's money on Ruler On Ice, but then this was the slowest belmont since 1995 [Thunder Gulch}, High Echelon [1970] and thence back to 1944. My grandmother, had she not died in 1959 would have given this group a go for it. JV lost an iron but was back in the saddle almost im...

Belmont Stakes GSV numbers

I've posted the GSV scores for the Belmont Stakes on my website and gone out on the limb [nothing new about that] and made some comments on the way the race will turn out.

Epsom Oaks and Derby GSV scores

I posted the GSV and GSV2 scores of the horses in the Epsom Oaks and Derby on my web page for those that are interested. The DamGSV score has been real hot lately [not sure why] so I highlighted those horses with very high DamGSV scores.

Casting no aspersions to the authors of any thoroughbred book since 1980, other than statistical references to update my GSV and GRASP databanks, I have bought only your book, Modern Conduit Mares. I am functionally illiterate to other recent pedigree theories., etc. LOL Though, I have read critique...

Hi Jagger First of all, I had the most confidence that this horse would win the Derby since I selected Big Brown, and I backed it up at the betting window. Kimberly Mine summed up the pedigree very well. Acatenango excelled in any type of going, and had an excellent turn of foot (just as his sire S...

Animal Kingdom has a GSV of 69.55 mostly thanks to his sire Leroidesanimaux who contributes 72.52. Leroidesanimaux has been a terrific sire so far with a wonderful pedigree. Just what you want to complement North American Pedigrees. His tail-female dam line gives you a perfect example of how female ...

and a good bet for Horse of the Year if she keeps to do what she has been doing. I loved what her jockey said three starts ago when asked what he thought of her. "No jockey could lose on this horse. Her travelling speed is so fast that should she get in trouble, very few could do it to her and then ...

Black Caviar

Tomorrows big Derby Trail preps will seem really mellow to me since I have been following the greatest race horse in the world from Oct to April this year, Black Caviar. She's the best sprinter I have ever....EVER....seen. She's now 12/12 and ranked as the top horse in the world before tonight when ...

I have added the Florida Derby results to my scrolling GSV scores of all Ky Derby preps. The horses sure staggered home from the top of the stretch. I'm throwing all of them out in my Derby bets as they will all be over-bet for how they ran in the Fla Derby, especially Dialed In. :roll: :oops: http:...

What about Master of Hounds. They are thinking of making a trip for the K. Derby I am guessing close to or above 80?

Ken

He's got a huge GSV/GSV2 number.
GSV=80.87
GSV2=83.93

Perfect pedigree if he can handle the dirt to love a mile and a quarter to a mile and a half

I just found the GSV race card for The Factor's first start on Opening Day at Santa Anita You can download the race card from my home page I took a screen shot of him crossing the line, which is also on the same page showing nice action and the ease with which he won. http://www.members.shaw.ca/them...
