Not only is our boy an A++ True
Nick, but his variant of 7.20 is off the charts. Here is an explanation
as described on the True Nicks web site.
The TrueNicks Calculation
The TrueNicks rating is then calculated by multiplying the SII by the
BSII, effectively recognizing the real opportunity and performance of
the given cross. In the example above, an SII of 2.0 and a BSII of 3.0
would result in a TrueNicks variant score of 6.0, indicating that the
nick performs six times better than average opportunity, translating
to an A+ TrueNicks rating.
Meaningful Ratings
With the entire database of The Jockey Club at its disposal during development,
the TrueNicks rating was calibrated on a test group of over 100,000
horses of racing age. Converting the raw TrueNicks score to a letter
rating – A to D and F, as in the academic system – reveals
some intriguing results that verify the existence of nicks across a
whole population. For example:
While only 13% of the entire Thoroughbred
population earn “A” rankings (A to A++), 37% of the stakes
winners rate as “A’s.”
Horses rated “B” or better (B to A++) represent just 30%
of the entire population, yet 3 out of 4 (77%) stakes winners rank “B”
or better.
Almost half of Thoroughbreds in general–44%–are on the low
end of the scale (rated “C” through “F”), yet
only two in 25 stakes winners (8%) have these lower rankings.
Aside from his pedigree, he brings
a lot more to the table. He is Pa Bred, has a great body.
