At most major Thoroughbred Sales in Australia & New Zealand
we have graded over 10'000 Yearlings and over 1'000 2 YO's to date.
Almost 6'000 of them are now racing and are accordingly registered in our system.
 
Horses sold through major sales since the 2009 season can be searched now!
See box to the right - "Free Horse Search"
The result is giving you a brief idea of our recommendation for the horse
according to our Assessment of its Upper Airway System
and Oxygen Conversion Capacity.
 
S T A T I S T I C S
 
The system now contains 2 full Race Years of statistical data!
We have a wide range of search criteria for each individual grading level available.
Stats by: Price Money / Winners / Winning Distances / Sires / Age / Vendors etc..
 
Price money percentiles by earnings of the graded horses in the season 2009/10:
 
The top 10-30% of the 2YO's graded won in excess of 75% of the total pool!
The top 10-50% of the 2YO's won about 85% of the total pool!
The top 10-30% of the 3YO's graded won more then 60% of the total pool!
The top 10-50% of the 3YO's won about 80% of the total pool!
 
Below are some of the top horses the system selected in the top 10-30% grading:

The Grading Process
Untitled document
The full grading process consists of a Palpation  Examination on 24 aspects
within the two main criteria: 1) The Upper Airway System
                                           2)  Oxygen Conversion Components
 
Untitled document
 
Starting at the first point of air intake, the nostrils, then in great detail all aspects of the larynx, right through to the upper areas of the windpipe. All parts and passages of the Upper Airway Tract that offer significant structures used in the palpation examination are assesed and taken into account.
As all of the critical areas rely on muscular contraction and power, the reading of their structure and composition is highly critical.

Upper Airway Pre Purchase Examination
- Essential in assessment of athletic ability -
 
Examinations of the upper airway (UA) at racehorse sales around the world become an important part of the purchase examination performed on horses intended for athletic endeavors. The examination is obviously done to avoid purchasing a horse with a condition or abnormality that will adversely affect the ability of the horse to train or race.
The focus of this information is to raise awareness of the variations discovered as a result of evaluating the UA of the immature racehorse (yearling, 2-year-old etc.), particularly in reference to function of the larynx (and arytenoids) and other influential aspects of it.
 
The amazing calculation of a circular opening (= Larynx)!
Some well developed horses will have an air intake opening capacity which can be
twice that of others. In terms of the physics of airflow that means:
 
A circular opening which is twice the diameter of another one
is not twice - but sixteen times as efficient!
 
This is practically determined by the contraction capacity of the Larynx's muscular structures and other important factors of it. In comparison the airway cavities and the wind pipe vary insignificantly in size, creating only minor differences in airflow capacity.

Information on RLN
Untitled document
Understanding RLN means => understanding breathing capacity
Breathing capacity determines => level of athletic performance
 
RLN is the name that has been given to describe all forms of this common condition of the nervous system. RLN may be inherited or acquired but 99% of cases are inherited.
 
Of course RLN has a limiting effect on the performance of afflicted hoses long before it reaches the stage of being recognizable by noises! Nevertheless, when these signs occur, it needs to be recognized that the condition has reached a serious stage. "Roaring" is well-recognized by trainers and owners as an undesirable sign in race horses but it is not fully understood how undesirable it is and neither is paid enough attention to the fact  of the gravity of these conditions in their less severe, not so obvious forms!
