"Top All-Weather Track Sires"
Author: http://www.FullCardReports.com

     Successful all-weather track sire information! This new type of sire information definitely gives you an advantage when playing these tracks: Arlington Park, Del Mar, Keeneland, Turfway, Woodbine, Hollywood Park, Santa Anita, Golden Gate and Presque Isle Downs.

Here are 3 questions for you to ponder:
  1. Is pedigree an important consideration in the outcome of races run on the turf?
  2. What about races run on a wet track (sloppy, muddy, etc)?
  3. Should this type of pedigree information be used in the handicapping process for races run on these surfaces?
The answer to the aforementioned 3 questions is unequivocally YES. You most likely already know how important pedigree information is in those situations.
  • Some horses have the pedigree to run over the turf better than others.
  • Some horses have the pedigree to run over a wet track better than others.
  • And now - Some horse have the pedigree to run over the all-weather track surface better than others.

And Del Mar Are Run On All-Weather Tracks

The age of technology has brought us a new consideration for our handicapping reserve. It is widely believed and proven that all-weather racing surfaces yield many benefits which include:
  • Safety for the racehorse. Because of the all-weather track 'cushion' and 'give'. This makes it much easier on their back and legs.
  • Safer for the jockeys because of a reduced fall rate and less jolting.
  • Uniformity of natural maintenance under various weather conditions.
  • More efficient for the track crew to maintain.
  • Reduced kickback and dust.
  • And many more benefits.
With this being known, more and more racetracks will be installing a brand of all-weather surface. As of this writing there are currently 9 racetracks in North America that already have an all-weather track surface installed.

We have compiled a "Full Card Reports All-Weather Track Sires List" of the current top sires for all-weather ("synthetic", "polytrack", etc) racetracks.

It has been established that certain sires have the best pedigree and a higher success rate to get winners on the turf or a wet track. There is now a new group of sires that have a proven successful trait for all-weather tracks!

The special Full Card Reports study began 1 1/2 years ago and analyzes all races run on all-weather tracks in North America. As you might have guessed we keep a record of each winner's sire on all-weather tracks. Not only is each all-weather track race winner's sire recorded to our database but also the sire of the 2nd place finisher!

Our all-weather track sire ratings are comprised of a proprietary blend of statistics and criteria. Many different factors are used including:
  • Class
  • Consistency
  • Potential
Whenever a horse is racing on an all-weather track and has a sire that is a part of the "Full Card Reports All-Weather Track Sires List" it will get this icon on our reports. And on the Diamond report the horse will also get this comment: "This horse has excellent proven pedigree for all-weather tracks".
