Question on reading the pedigrees

[Gayle66]

Hi. I am new to the TB database, and am wondering if someone could tell me what the letters and numbers stand for beside the horses name on the pdigrees? For Example, across the top of the pedigree, it would read the horses name, sex, birth year, then DP and some numbers, then DI, some numbers, and CD and a number. What are the DP, DI, and CD mean?

Thanks!!

DP=Dosage Profile
DI=Dosage Index
CD= Center of Distribution

A good website to read up on these terms and how they relate to pedigree is http://www.chef-de-race.com/ . There you will find out what many other "letters" in the pedigree mean, i.e., [B], [I], [C], [S], [P] in the boxes after the horse's year of birth.
