These numbers are for First Time Starters from the sires.

Of TCE's first 33 runners, only ONE won its' First Start..

Thanks for the clarification. I guess that is pretty much a betting angle. As a owner you just hope they learn something from the first start and come back in good shape. Yes its great to win the first time out but there are so many, many variables as to how your horse performs the first time out. Sometimes you cant get the race you want/or you get a bad hole. Another angle is that some trainers do not even "ramp" em up for the first start. It does not tell you how good the horse will be but I guess its a bettors angle. I think the stallion register stats of runners/winners is a much better tool for both wagering and stallion evaluation

winning first out is great if you are looking to sell otherwise I can't see why anyone would be that concerned (unless you were betting of course)

Debuting sire stats are VERY skewed by trainers. A trainer like Shug that doesn't crank on one early isn't gonna winning 1st out, no matter what the pedigree.
On the other hand, Wes Ward could take a Dixieland Band or any of those other bad win early sires and win out of the box.

It's funny how reputations and actually data can vary.
Yes it's True has been known for years has a great debuting sire.
Hook and Ladder was the hot new 1st out Sire last year.

And I could be a little biased in my opinion in that I have only owned one horse who won the first time out...................she never won again,,lol

Kind of in the same line of questioning........what would you do given this situation. Lets say you have a free season to Malibu Moon (40K) but the werk tells you the rating is a D. But you can go get a season for someone like Kipling for 5K and it matches your mare to an A rating. Given that is all you know about the mare do you just take the gamble with a free Malibu Moon or do you take the werk ratings that serious and get a good match for 5K.
