So much for the stallion industry then since sires don't count in providing DNA.

US handicappers rate US horses except international ratings compiled every four months (done by a world's cross section of handicappers including a US handicapper).

Since when is a horse considered a 1/2 sibling when related to the sire??? ZENYATTA is out of VERTIGINEUX, making her a 1/2 sister to BALANCE and recent Belmont Park debut 4th place finisher SOUPER SPECTACULAR while ZAIDAN is out of ELEMENT OF TRUTH.

Translation, no relation.

Comment on Mine That Bird

I'm glad your happy that Lucas is training Mine that Bird. However if you look at Lucas's record in graded stakes in the last few years it's unlikely that he will ever see the winner's circle at the highest level in the near future.

Comment on Goldikova: The World's Top Female

Entirely agree. This would put Paco Boy who was beaten a neck and giving 3 pounds in the opener at Royal Ascot right there as well. Paco Boy obviously is male but there is no embarrassment in being beaten by the worlds top female at 1 mile.
Quality Road is presently the top horse but that will change soon, so many big races early doors in USA.

European based and biased rating systems do not constitute the rest of the world. I should know.
