“Statistics are like bikinis. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital.” - Aaron Levenstein
Very amusing, but I prefer W. A. Wallis’ idea that “Statistics may be defined as a body of methods for making wise decisions in the face of uncertainty.” Which is also what the information on this website is intended to do.
In fact a very large percentage of the information available on the site is available in the first two buttons at the top left of the site in the main toolbar directly under our name.
These are styled STALLIONS and STATISTICS. By clicking on these users can access a wealth of data in each section.
The STALLIONS button is self explanatory containing all the information on each horse listed on the site with regular updates included for all PREMIUM stallions.
There are over 1,700 stallions in the various sections, many under exclusive arrangements with leading international organisations such as USA The BloodHorse’s SRO ( Stallion Register Online ), Enicks, TrueNicks etc.
The STATISTICS button contains our pioneering, fully searchable Sales Results Database, Babywatch ( 2yo trials and races with sales prices, linked to tabulated pedigrees ),Feature Race Histories, Sales Calendar ( links to previous year’s results ), Leading Sires Lists ( customise your own, several countries available ), Stakes Calendar ( searchable and sortable, interactive showing past winners and sponsorship name changes ).
In short we’ve built a better bikini, it doesn’t conceal anything, well hardly anything.
