Help - stakes/blacktype catalog standards

Postby magic code » Mon Feb 11, 2008 8:06 pm

Horse listed as winner of an (N) stakes. What call/purse/etc. is that? What about an (O)?

magic I found the definitions in the front of a keeneland catalog (page 34 of book 5 of the '06 september yearling sale to be exact), (N) is a designation of stake races run in 1985 that had added money of less than $15 000, (O) is a blacktype race that has added money of $15 000 to $49 000 prior to 1989, with several designation of dollar values from then to the present.

Do you know what the * in front of the likes of Le Fabuleax, Grey Dawn II and Forli's name in the catalogs mean?

Hello:

Means foreign bred. Not sure which year they changed from * to actually designating the country bred.


Thanks for the heads up on the (O) designation. I didn't know that one.

All the best, Shergar

I am always here to help. The asterisk on the European horses has bugged me for awhile, but I have always forgot to ask about it (I'd remember as I was flipping through a catalog prior to drifting off to sleep), and I knew I had seen the info on the N and O somewhere.

I noticed that the N and O aren't found in the OBS catalog, nor Barrets, but in the Keeneland and Ontario CTHS catalogs, though not the other CTHS catalogs. I am wondering if this applies only to "fancy" horses. :lol: :lol:
