Holy crap George, Adriano has the top#! Somehow, I didn't have him on my radar. Is he the highest this year? Funny, his style of running reminds me of Barbaro. Didn't Barbaro have the top GSV# also?

Numaany 83.22
Majestic Warrior 81.57
Cosmic 80.51
Bordeau Bandit 77.93
Vacation 77.72

I guess Adriano is the highest of those that had Derby preps.

Excellent point. I accidentally left the two races of March 1st on the web page and they were to be replaced by the ones I obtained after updating their GSV scores with the complete 2007 data I recently received on all North American stallions. The sire of Absolutely Cindy, made huge gains in 2007, which shot his GRASP score up to the point where it added 3 points to her GSV score.

That is the importance of keeping updated files with the latest statistical facts available, whether sires get better or worse over time....most get worse...in this case Arch had a very, very good year.

I'm still updating my databanks for this year as I have been extremely busy, but for the Derby preps, I try to put in the latest values for the horses that win at least.

Sorry about that....but you were very sharp to point it out and I thank you.
