The Abstract Primer of Thoroughbred Racing uses unbiased data to identify the best race horses in virtually every category -- from top two-year-old fillies to best geldings on the grass to the premier weight carriers among colts and horses and virtually every other classification imaginable based on the results of major North American races since World War II. The same information also is presented to identify the best jockeys, trainers, sires, dams, broodmare sires -- and much, much more -- along with a complete record of all in-the-money finishes in major races since World War II for every thoroughbred and a list of all such victories for every stallion, broodmare sire, jockey, trainer, and owner.
