ThoroughMetrics

We help thoroughbred breeding and racing stables improve their performance breeding and buying horses with research using statistically valid methods to find factors with predictive value. 

We provide unbiased, scientifically sound statistical research on the breeding and racing industry.  Unlike other researchers, we have no conflicts of interest, and our studies use data with adequately sized, unbiased samples, and control groups.  This allows our clients to make better decisions with confidence in the predictive value of our studies' conclusions, rather than putting their money behind theories that may simply be based on misleading 'intuition' or biased samples.

We provide research reports on key factors in thoroughbred breeding.  Reports can be purchased individually or as part of a subscription.  In addition, we are available to do custom research if you have a theory or idea that you wanted tested.

Our upcoming research reports will include studies that investigate:

• Do buyers receive better value at yearling auctions or two year old auctions?
• Are broodmares' future success better predicted by past success of children or by the mare's succes on the track?
• Are there better predictive measures for sires than AEI and AEI/CI?
• Do some sires tend to produce more sound offspring than others?
• Are the offspring of some sires better suited to succeed racing on synthetic track surfaces?
