Massive number of "non-TB" horses entered in here

Postby the Ol'Line Rebel » Thu Mar 13, 2014 12:01 pm

These should be in All-Breed DB!

Start with the last/youngest specifically mentioned as a Selle Francais and go through her pedigree!

http://www.pedigreequery.com/venus+sf

Was looking for "Violette" when I ran across this gross breach of Thoroughbred database purpose.

It's just about every horse in that pedigree, either as a "SF" or a French "trotter".

Can this be simply transferred to All-Breed? Even deleting all these as a regular user can be a monstrous task.

You're quite right that a great many non-TB entries need to be removed from the db but, as 4th dam and first half TB in the tail female pedigree of G1SW 'chaser Quevega, "Venus SF" isn't one of them. She has, however, been renamed just "Venus", remarked as "NSB", and most of her non-TB ancestors are now out of the db. I'll remove the rest of them asap.

Quevega and other NSBs that successfully compete, especially at the G1 level, with registered TBs have always been acceptable for inclusion in the db here. A handful of NSBs with 7 consecutive TB crosses have been granted vehicle status by the ISBC, meaning their progeny/produce are eligible for registration as full TB.
