LEXINGTON, Ky. (Dec. 15, 2014) — Equibase has introduced a leaders’ list by foal crop that will enable users to determine which horse earned the most money, won the most races, or had the most stakes wins among its foal crop.
The leaders’ lists by foal crop are available in the Stats Central section on equibase.com.
“Comparing professional athletes by their draft year has always made for interesting water-cooler conversations and great debate on sports radio talk shows,” Equibase president and chief operating officer Hank Zeitlin. “Now, horse racing fans have the data to spark similar dialog about which horses were the best of their respective crops—not only by wins and earnings, but by age, on dirt vs. turf, etc.”
The standings for horses by foal crop can be sorted by a variety of categories, including sex, age, surface and grade. The customized data set can then be sorted in ascending or descending order by column (1st, 2nd, 3rd, earnings, etc.).
Equibase’s North American racing leaders’ lists include every human and equine starter annually back to the year 2000. Viewing leaders by foal crop is available back to the 1998 foal crop.
The interactive “ranking” feature on individual horse profile pages introduced earlier this year was also enhanced with the ability to rank by foal crop.
