Help!

Postby Joa » Wed Mar 02, 2005 7:21 pm

I am green in racing terminology.
1. Can somebody explain to me the meaning of letters and number stating next to the horse's name like:
DP = 7-8-7-0-0 DI = 5.29 CD = 1.00
2. In my mare's pedigree next to her name I have also sth like this:
26s, W
What does it mean?? I saw also other symbols like: W, SW, P, GSW, BW, SPW?

Ok I'm sort of a novice too, but I'll tell you what I can. The DP means Dosage Points. It is a system of grading the probable attitude of a horse using sire that have been giving a certain classification by a man named Steve Roman. He has a website that explains his theory. The CD is center of distribution, also created by Mr. Roman and explained on his website. Google dosage point and his site should come up.
I think this is what the rest is:
W = winner
SW = stakes winner, won a stake ungraded.
GSW = graded stakes winner, won a graded stake.
SPW = stakes placed winner, is a winner and placed in a stake but didn't win a stake.
P = producer, dam to a horse that won a race.
BW I don't have a clue about but I'll try and find out if no one else answers.
