Summer Doldrums headed for the Gotham S. (G3) on March 10.

I am trying to read as much and learn as much as I can but all these terms are a little confusign. Can any one please explain what they mean or do I have to read a book and which book is it.

This link explains some of the terms such as dosage and dual qualifiers. May help you pick out your Derby horse.

in the simplest terms dosage is a mathmetical representation of a horses pedigree...it takes into account the amont of speed vs. stamina and then boils it down to a number...the lower the number the longer (theoretically) the horse wants to go...

You're more likely to find a Derby winner in February on Seinfeld than from learning this witchcraft.

5 minutes to post is a pretty good time to make a selection.

Thank you. Everyone here seems so nice. I am sure I will learn a lot if I study and ask questions. Was Jerry Seinfeld a horse racing fan?
