What actually happened

On the racecourse, and in the ring

None of the below is used in the score. It is here so you can see the page and the horse side by side, which is the entire point of this exercise.

Group One winsFourteen, a New Zealand record

Prize moneyCareer earnings to dateUS$2.3m

Sale historyUS$35,000 as a yearling, Karaka Premier 2016, from the Haunui Farm draft.

The strongest page of the eight, and the only one that scores where a champion 'should'. A sire getting winners at seventy per cent, and a family with black type on every branch.

The score reads this horse's pedigree page as it stands today and nothing else. It is a score for the page, not a rating of the racehorse, and it is not a claim we picked them as yearlings. A horse's own black type is never counted in its own family. Prize money and prices are converted to US dollars at recent rates. Back to all eight
