Adding race distance to stakes record in pedigrees

Postby Worksoplad » Sat Aug 23, 2014 2:42 pm

My pet peeve when trying to use Pedigree Analysis to analyze matings, or to handicap races and determine if a particular horse can get the distance, is finding that there is no mention of the distance of the Stakes Races that are listed under the pedigrees of the stallions or dams.

Please can we start putting the distance information alongside the Stakes information as a matter of course.
