Help!

Postby Joa » Wed Mar 02, 2005 8:25 pm

I am green in racing terminology.
1. Can somebody explain to me the meaning of letters and number stating next to the horse's name like:
DP = 7-8-7-0-0 DI = 5.29 CD = 1.00
2. In my mare's pedigree next to her name I have also sth like this:
26s, W
What does it mean?? I saw also other symbols like: W, SW, P, GSW, BW, SPW?
