Sales Catalog Analysis
We start with a brief email or phone consult to discuss your price range and goals for the prospective horses. I will collaborate with your trainer or racing manager to create the short list or provide backup research for their short list. Same day phone/email consultations are available.
Depending on the number of horses per sales book, I offer a short list of between 20 – 50 horses, although the Keeneland September Yearling Sale may contain more prospects.
Reports contain the following for each hip:
| Nicking Reports | I review the nicking reports and offer a nicking analysis of the first two generations. |
| Sales Record | |
| Sire Eval | Quality of sire’s overall crops, average and median sales results, if a first crop sire, prediction of how his offspring will perform. |
| Distaff Line | Evaluation of the immediate female family, including sales prices/records, class level and soundness of siblings and dam plus blacktype in the first two. |
| Conformation | If photos are available, a generalized overview of the conformation, noting any major weakness. If I attend the sale, a written review and photos of each prospect will be included. |
| Breeze video | Breeze video will be included in the report along with an analysis of the work. Optional: Stride report/biomechanics can be included for additional cost. |
| Additional: | Nicking Reports, 4x4 nicking report, hypomating chart, catalog pages, etc. are included. |
| Summary: | An overall summary of the hip including appraisal sales range. |
