Hi, I just picked up a new TB and after having quarter horses the 2 gen pedigree kinda threw me. I'm lost as to how to proceed researching. I mean with AQHA I log in and start printing pedigrees & performance records, does the jockey club have a feature like that? I found her pedigree here (
http://www.pedigreequery.com/spanish+lace4) but I'm looking for more info, and colors would be nice too though I'm going to UCDavis her anyway. Also I wouldn't mind posting pics of her and inviting conformation critiques but I'm not sure what the protocol is for that?
Thanks, Charlotte

The Jockey Club has a division called Equineline... go to
www.equineline.com. However, unlike AQHA, the Jockey Club does not have membership dues. Each report you order from equineline has a fee associated so you must first set up an account.
Some of your questions might be answered here. There are posters here with access to a wide variety of datasources.. so it would help to know what you are looking for.

That one raced three times on the Illinois B circuit and once in Iowa and beat just one horse ever.
Color of your horse is registered dark bay or brown.
Sire won nine times, again mostly on the Illinois B circuit and earned $31,000.
Dam won five times, mostly in Ohio and Michigan, and earned $15,000.
Dam was bay, sire was dark bay or brown.
Hard to locate the positives in her family.

oh man, no way! So she finished dead last at least 3 times?! <snerk> No wonder she never talks about it!

She is a sweetheart, that works for me
So is there a way I can look up the races she was in and all the horses that beat her, or even the one horse she actually managed to beat (did it trip and fall?)

humerous anecdotes or useless trivia mostly. even to my uneducated eye I could guess her ped was "less than spectacular"
But, info like the above is priceless.

I'm assuming they wouldn't have pics of her from these races? I mean do they take pics of the last placed horses

Photos would be very unlikely... brings to mind a comment I saw beside a horse regarding its performance in a race "chased in by the water truck".
