3. Horse and Breeding Information

Run Style: The horse’s typical racing tactic. This helps assess race dynamics and potential pace scenarios.
- Early: The horse likes to break quickly and set or contest the lead from the start. It does its best running on the front end and often tries to “wire” the field.
- Early/Presser: The horse is a versatile runner that can either set the pace or sit just off the leaders. It is usually close to the front early and can adapt to different pace scenarios.
- Presser: The horse prefers to track just behind the leaders early on. It will conserve energy before making a move around the far turn.
- Sustainer/Closer: The horse usually settles near the back of the pack early and relies on a strong late run in the stretch to pass tiring rivals.
BRIS Prime Power Rating: A proprietary Brisnet rating that combines speed, class, and pace factors into a single number to estimate a horse’s overall win potential.
Sire: The horse’s male parent (father).
Sire’s Sire: The horse’s grandfather on the male side (paternal grandfather).
Sire Stud Fee: The advertised cost to breed a mare to the sire for a given season. Higher fees often reflect the sire’s racing success or proven record as a producer of winners.

- Colt: A male horse under 5 years old that has not been gelded (castrated). Colts are typically still in training or early racing careers.
- Horse: A mature male horse (usually 5 years or older) that is not gelded. Often used interchangeably with stallion, but may appear as “Horse” in racing records.
- Gelding: A male horse that has been castrated, usually to improve behavior and manageability.
- Filly: A female horse under 5 years old. Fillies may compete against other fillies or mixed company in races.
- Mare: A female horse aged 5 years or older. Mares are eligible for breeding and often retire from racing to become broodmares.
- Ridgling: A male horse with one or both testicles undescended. May behave like a stallion but is often sterile or has limited fertility.
- Stallion: An uncastrated adult male horse, used for breeding purposes. Stallions may race, but many retire early to stud.

Color: Describes the coat color of the horse.
Breeder: The person or farm that owned the mare (dam) at the time she gave birth to the horse.
State/Country Bred: Shows where the horse was foaled. This can determine eligibility for state-bred or regionally restricted races and incentive programs.

- Handily: The horse worked at an easy, controlled pace without being asked to accelerate much, showing a relaxed but steady effort.
