(top 0.2% of the breed) in the past several years with horses we bought at auction as un-raced youngsters, as listed in the chart below. Average prices paid were below auction averages. For some we didn't sign the ticket, but it was all our work to find and recommend the horse.

        Etc, Etc !! this is a partial list  ---

Sample EQB Track Record :
# purchased by sample client = 43
median purchase price under $150,000.
(commissioned and/or top short-list hips)

(we also have other client examples that 

match or exceed these results)

Unraced 6
Winners at MSW or higher	26	70%
Stakes placed	11	30%
Stakes winners	8	22%
Graded Stakes Placed	10	27%
Graded Stakes Winners	7	19%

Purchased as yearlings and two-year-olds at public auctions. Race records through October of their three-year-old year. This record includes a new track record at Saratoga, a NY Turf Writers Leading Stable in USA title, and several Kentucky Derby and World Championship Breeders Cup entries.  It was a good start for a client in only its third year of racing!

Since then, 

those percentages have held

roughly steady

Another example :--

In 2012 and 2013 

we bought 14 horses at auction 

as yearlings and 2 year olds 

for a major EQB client 

(call for details).

The result now 

that those horses are 3 year olds 

is over 20% graded stakes winners

 including GRADE ONE STAKES.

Their average price was $65,000 

and they have already 

earned over $2,200,000 in purses.

AND what about "off-the-track?"

A typical year’s fatigue curve
 
“release” list’s

subsequent performance:

( i.e., we don't just buy at auctions.

Below are summarized results for those flagged for closer examination based on their velocity decay logarithmic fatigue curve in their 1st or 2nd race):

Among 189 full “releases”:

• 49% Won stakes races
• 70% Placed in stakes races (finished at least third)
• 11% Won G1 stakes races
• 18% Won G1 or G2 stakes races
• 24% Won G1, G2 or G3 stakes races
• 17% Placed G1 stakes races
• 28% Placed G1 or G2 stakes races
• 39% Placed G1, G2 or G3 stakes races

* These results are without testing, or knowing, other criteria like heart, gait or veterinary analysis, which would improve results.

FROM THE ARCHIVE:  Additional Eclipse nominees (thru 2006)
from EQB shortlists at yearling or two-year-olds-in-training auctions
[not bought by EQB or an EQB client]

FROM THE ARCHIVE:  Other horses that passsed all EQB's tests before racing that became top earners
but most of which, back then, we didn't get a chance to buy for a client
