Handicap) ranking (when and if ranked); the
sire; the sire's AWD (average
winning distance in North American open stakes); the sire's AWD in dirt
races only; the sire's %C (percentage of progeny open stakes wins at
the classic distances of 9 1/2, 10 and 12 furlongs); the sire's sire
line; the dam's sire; the dam's sire's AWD; the dam's sire's AWD in dirt
races only; the dam's sire's %C; the dam's sire line; the bloodline
cross (P = Phalaris, NP = non-Phalaris); Dosage figures and known connections.
An asterisk (*) after the AWD indicates an AWD sample size of less than
