At Dynamic Syndications we believe that the genetic balance of a pedigree is as vitally important as the conformation. That’s what set’s us apart and delivers us the incredible strike rate of success we enjoy.
Statistically we have identified after years of research that approximately 20% of the thoroughbred population wins 76% of the Stakes Races whilst 80% produces 24% of Stakes Races.
There are for ease of explanation approximately 20 yearlings born per annum. So 20% is 4,000 yearlings and 80% is 16,000.
With 578 Stakes Races in Australia that represents 439 Races are won by 20% and only 139 Races are won by 80%.
Therefore the quality of the racehorse has as much to do with genetic patterns as conformation - we only want to buy horses rated in the top 20%.
To identify the top 20% of horses we review the horses on breeding by specific formulas into the following categories
A+++ A++ A+ A : B+ B : C+ C C- : D+ D D- : F & 0.
With A and above being the top 20%.
C 0% is considered Average - the cross is no better or worse than any other cross.
F = Unsuccessful
0 = No Stakes Winners bred on the cross.
Whilst the percentage figure recorded for horses less than A+++ refers to a variant of increased likelihood from average (0%) that the mating may possibly produce a Black Type success.
To give the reader an understanding of how the genetics impacts on the quality of the racehorses, this year’s Golden Slipper is a classic example of why we are so diligent in pedigree evaluation.
Of the 16 qualified entrants into the final field, we identified that :
13 runners (81.25%) are rated A or above,
1 rated B,
1 rated C+
1 rated C.
