Red = Low pedigree reinforcement | Purple = Highest consolidation
The score reflects strength and reinforcement in the pedigree. A high score suggests a more consolidated and balanced profile.
TRAITS BREAKDOWN
COI (6-gen): 0.17%
COI (Coefficient of Inbreeding) estimates the probability a foal inherits identical genes from both sire and dam within six generations. Under 1.5% is considered low, 1.5–3% moderate, and over 3% suggests tighter inbreeding. Higher COI can reinforce desirable traits but may also increase hereditary risk.
LOW
Deep Balanced Ancestors
Calculates how many ancestors appear on both the sire’s and dam’s sides across five or more generations. The key is “Balance,” meaning a ratio of at least 33%–67% either way. A higher count signals a deeper, more evenly blended pedigree, which tends to confer greater genetic stability.
LOW
Gen 9 Sire/Dam Consolidation
Calculates instances where the same ancestor appears on both the sire’s and dam’s sides in the ninth generation. While very distant, repeated ancestors this far back can subtly reinforce certain genetic lines without the higher inbreeding risk of closer duplications. A moderate level of Gen 9 consolidation can indicate a thoughtfully blended pedigree. Higher instances really enforce that dominant sire or dam’s genetic traits especially if “balanced.”
LOW
Elite Ancestor Consolidation – Sire
Counts how many “elite” stallions appear more than once in the sire’s nine-generation pedigree. Duplicating top sires can amplify desirable traits like speed and stamina, but over-consolidation may also increase inbreeding risk if not balanced elsewhere.
HIGH
Elite Ancestor Consolidation – Dam
Counts how many “elite” broodmares appear more than once in the dam’s nine-generation pedigree. Reinforcing superior female lines can enhance traits like soundness, temperament, and broodmare quality—but, as with sires, too much duplication without balance can elevate inbreeding risk.
LOW
Elite Sire/Broodmare Sire
Flags whether either the Sire or the Dam Sire ranks among the very top 20 producers (e.g. leading national sires or broodmare sire standings) for the previous year. A value of “1” indicates the presence of at least one elite producer in these roles; “0” means neither. Be aware early sires with little or no runners will not appear in this metric.
x1
Rasmussen Factor
Measures the concentration of a key female ancestor (via the Rasmussen pedigree inbreeding methodology) in the first five generations. An “ideal” Rasmussen Factor (at least one elite dam duplication which is balanced via a sire and a dam) suggests balanced inbreeding that can reinforce desirable traits without undue risk.
ABSENT
Nick Match
Indicates whether this specific sire × broodmare family cross has a documented record of producing stakes-level performers (“nicks”) over the past 2 years in Europe. A value of “1” means there is at least one high-profile success from this pairing; “0” indicates no proven precedent in the past 2 years. A positive proven nick suggests strong genetic compatibility and higher likelihood of elite performance. The higher the amount the better.
