indy go sky

Postby balounbl » Sun Aug 21, 2005 8:03 pm

I recently purchased a 5 year old mare. Her racing name was Indy Go Sky. Her records say something like this
DP=6-3-13-0-0 (22) DI=2.38 CD= 0.68
Can anyone decode this? I have no idea what it means!

Those numbers refer to her dosage profile (DP) which is a numerical system based on the number of stallions in her pedigree with chefs-de-race designation, and which designation. This is a subjective grading system founded by Steve Roman. At this point, many people believe it is pretty meaningless because of the subjective way it is done.
