Every bloodstock agent has his wheelhouse and the study of Thoroughbred pedigree has been mine since my earliest involvement in the sport. Star of the North Bloodstock was created when I was asked by a number of clients to help improve their breeding operations by recommending stallion matings utilizing my knowledge of Thoroughbred pedigree. Those early experiences proved very successful and provided the momentum that continues to drive Star of the North Bloodstock's progress.
There appears to be an almost directly inverse relationship between what is written about pedigree and the methods used by those who achieve lasting results in Thoroughbred racing. The weekly and year-end stakes results identify the breeders who have mastered an understanding of Thoroughbred pedigree. When pressed for explanations about their methods by newcomers to the world of Thoroughbred breeding who are not valued clients, they offer platitudes about “Breeding the best to the best and hoping for the best” and the like. In such a competitive business that reticence to freely share such important knowledge is understandable.
While some folks might be led to believe Thoroughbred breeding is a game of cosmic chance or that they can be proficient with the application of some type of "system," investors who will survive the gauntlet of Thoroughbred ownership are those who seek out and follow the advice of experienced, knowledgeable advisors.
No matter how long one studies Thoroughbred pedigree, it is a subject that is never really mastered, but its continued study will yield superior perspective and in turn, superior runners. The only true measure of successfully applied theories are demonstrable results.
