Proprietary Analytics
Explore thoroughbred pedigree analysis and racing performance through Chivalry’s proprietary metrics. Understand the individual record first, then compare the family behind it.
A consistent comparison
Racing quality. Durability. Development. Distance. Chivalry’s proprietary analytics give you a common language for comparing horses and families.
Start with the individual metricsStart with the horse
Race Class describes the competition. Race Score summarizes demonstrated performance. Durability describes the ability to withstand the rigors of training and racing. Precocity describes the timing of early development.
01 · The horse’s record
A comparative description of the quality and level of competition in a race. It provides context for the conditions a horse has faced.
Use it to read the level of competition before comparing individual performances.
Interpretations describe competition levels and are not guarantees about an individual runner.
| Score range | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| Below 25 | Lower maiden claiming |
| 25–49 | Maiden claiming / lower claiming |
| 50–74 | Claiming |
| 75–89 | Upper claiming / lower maiden special weight |
| 90–110 | Maiden special weight / starter |
| 111–140 | Optional claiming / strong starter |
| 141–190 | Allowance |
| 191–274 | High allowance / emerging stakes |
| 275–399 | Stakes |
| 400–549 | Upper stakes / Grade 3 |
| 550–699 | Grade 2 |
| 700+ | Grade 1 |
02 · The horse’s record
A summary of demonstrated racing performance, considering the highest winning level, average Race Class, lifetime earnings, and other performance factors.
Use it to compare the racing records of individual horses consistently.
Reading the score
The higher the race score, the better the demonstrated performance and race class.
03 · The horse’s record
Durability describes the ability to withstand the rigors of training and racing.
Use it to study the durability demonstrated in a racing history.
This is a racing-history measure, not a veterinary assessment or a diagnosis of current physical condition. A low score can reflect limited evidence.
| Score range | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| 0 | Unraced |
| 1–9 | Limited campaign |
| 10–19 | Light durability |
| 20–34 | Established durability |
| 35–49 | Strong durability |
| 50–64 | Very strong durability |
| 65+ | Exceptional durability |
04 · The horse’s record
A view of early racing and early winning, with the quality and timing of the first win considered together. Lower scores indicate greater precocity.
Use it to compare early-development patterns against the racing program you have in mind.
| Score range | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| Below 5 | Exceptional precocity |
| 5–6.99 | Precocious |
| 7–8.99 | Moderately early |
| 9–10.99 | Average / later |
| 11–12.99 | Late / non-winner |
The pedigree metrics extend the comparison to pedigree-linked performance patterns.
Pedigree Race Score measures the strength of demonstrated racing performance within a horse’s pedigree.
Use it to Identify the concentration of racing quality in the family and provide an objective way to compare the performance potential represented by different pedigrees.
A comparative view of racing-durability patterns across the family.
Use it to Compare durability profiles, balance upside with risk, and support long-term campaign planning.
A comparative view of when related runners tend to develop and reach the races.
Use it to Match prospects to two-year-old programs, early-season objectives, and faster time-to-track strategies.
A comparative view of the family’s winning-distance tendency.
Use it to Align prospects with sprint, middle-distance, or route ambitions and an intended racing program.
