Who is Pedigree To Win.

My story

As a businessperson, I operated at a highly specialised level, but my main goal in life always centred around cracking the “mystical code” of thoroughbred racehorses, what makes them run faster or longer, and what makes them tick in the breeding shed. I have invested more than 45 years in researching and practicing this business, and I have bred, raced, purchased, and recommended Group 1 and other stakes winners to owners and trainers.

I have developed an incredible insight into racing and breeding and have the innate ability to accurately read and assess pedigrees to, as best as is possible in an inexact science, achieve accurate results. 

I have a deep knowledge and understanding of the breed internationally. I know what works and what does not work, and what the pitfalls are. I have read the great minds of the master-breeders and have searched the motive and logic behind their thinking. I have a full grasp of the genetic make-up and evolving sequence of the whole breed including the permeating power and diminishing contributions of the supreme breed shapers, and where and when to follow their lines.

Picked with care

My mission and goal is to assist breeders, owners, trainers, agents, enthusiasts, and the racing public to make informed decisions when trading in or racing horses to achieve the best results.

I will on request provide an added value assessment of any pedigree to:

  • Evaluate investment potential, racing aptitudes, expectations, limitations and distance capabilities.

  • Stallions, stud potential or prospects, suitable mares and type of mares

  • Broodmares, stud potential and best stallion matches.  

A pedigree to win analyses is based on an innate knowledge of the breed as a whole and its genealogy grasping the manifestation of;

- continuum and cessation

- pre-potency and power

- Hybrid vigour and biology

- balance and positioning

- axial weighting for refinement

- fixing on class

- attainment of brilliance, speed, speed    

   that stays, stamina and true stamina

- early recognition of sustaining permeating lineage
