GradeOneRacing Horses at Auction Database

Reading The Auction Reports

NAME = official name of horse he/she will be racing under. After auction horses may have names changed by new owners.

SALE = The sale HORSE was bought or entered into, EG: FTFEB is Fasig Tipton February held in Florida at Palm Meadows on mile, dirt oval. OBSMAR is Ocala Breeders Sales in Ocala, Florida, on synthetic, one mile oval as is OBSAPR & OBSJune.

FTTIM is Fasig Tipton Timonium is also known as EAS - in racing publications is held at Timonium Racetrack in Maryland. Timonium is a bullring, dirt oval on Preakness week in mid-May.

PURCHASER = is the name of the purchaser or who signed the ticket. RNA = is Reserved Not Achieved and horse was return to original owner and consignment. There are occasions horse is bought as a Post Sale or PS purchase or private deal between consigner, and buyer. RNA's will not show up in Daily Racing Form. Therefore, if a horse was an RNA for $375,000 it would never show in past performances. This information is exclusively found at Gradeoneracing.com. WITHDRAWN or OUT = SCRATCHED from sale. If a horse actually breezed in preview and then was declared OUT it is indicative of a physical issue or injury.

PURCHASE PRICE = the amount the price was bought for at auction or RNA at auction.

STATE BRED = What state or country Horse was foaled.

GENDER = Filly, Colt or Gelding

YOB = horse year of birth, 2009 is a 2011 two-year-old, 2010 is a 2012 two-year-old.

SIRE = Father or Stallion of horse

DAM = broodmare or mother of horse

DAMSIRE = the stallion that sired the mother or broodmare

CONSIGNOR = is a yearling or two-year-old trainer that prepares the horse and sells the horse at auctions. Consignors are not racing trainers and specialize in preparing young horses since yearlings.

PRIOR AUCTION = Horse's auctions history as a weanling or a yearling. 85-Y| 25-W = bought as a yearling (a horse of one year of age) for $85,000 after gone through the auction ring as a weanling (A horses at less than one year of age) for $25,000. This piece of information is extremely critical is assessing horse's total worth. If a horse was purchased as a yearling, for example, for $85,000 and sold later at auction as a two-year-old for $175,000, horse actually progressed nicely as a juvenile and is valued higher as a racing prospect. If a horse, on the other hand, regressed from yearling purchase price it may suggest the horse had some issues that prevented from fulfilling his or her value.

EIGHTH OF A MILE = 1/8 of a mile split for preview. (This is our time we clocked the horse in not necessarily the time given by the sales company.

QUARTER OF A MILE = 1/4 of a mile split. It could be the quarter mile preview or gallop out time of a one furlong or 1/8th of a mile work.

THREE EIGHTHS OF A MILE = 3/8 of a mile split. It could be a full three furlong time of preview or gallop out for one furlong or two furlong preview time.

HALF MILE = 1/2 a mile split. It could be a full half mile preview or the gallop out of furlong to three furlongs preview.

COMMENTS = Our notes on the condition of track, weather, work, and physical notes made during the preview. A LQQK is simply a horse that made our short list. A short list is horses we fancied from the previews and physical inspection. Breathing Noise, gulped for air, noisy, or displaced noise, etc. are a negative aspects of the preview. Conformational flaws are also a piece of the puzzle. Conformation is in the eye of the beholder. Some trainers can live with a flaw that horse other can't. If we scoped the horse we will have notes on the results, such as, Failed Scope. Some trainers and owners do not scope or are lenient in the purchase of a horse on whether the horse as A or B throats. Some trainers go strictly by vet recommendation. Physically, if we had a horse examine by vet, such as X rays, we will also have full report such as chip in right ankle, and so forth.
