Just my two cents... Don't tell the colt he got an "F" in the School of Werk.

I don't put any faith in Werk nicks... at all. The horse in front of you speaks for himself and some meaningless calculation based on sirelines doesn't change the horse. Good luck with your colt!

Majesty's Time and Dr. Kiernan were both F nicks until they started running. The rating went up after that. They were both by Majesty's Prince out of Torelia (Torsion). They were both stakes winners with Dr. Kiernan winning the Bowling Green.

far more important than the werk rating is the airway -----check that first --if the horse cant breathe --A++++ IS A SELLING POINT ONLY
