This book delves into the fascinating world of thoroughbred horse breeding, offering a unique and insightful approach to understanding bloodlines and their impact on racing success. Set against the backdrop of the rich history of English racing, the author introduces a revolutionary "Figure System" that assigns numerical values to prominent female lines based on their historical performance in prestigious classic races like the Derby, Oaks, and Leger.

With its emphasis on historical data and meticulous pedigree analysis, this book provides breeders with a practical and insightful framework for making informed decisions about mating and selecting thoroughbred horses. By understanding the intricate interplay of genetics and performance, breeders can unlock the secrets to producing exceptional racehorses capable of leaving their mark on the turf.
