Lexington, Ky \u2013 Blood-Horse Publications and Weatherbys announce a joint venture that will combine the strengths of the world\u2019s most successful online services regarding Thoroughbred stallions. Beginning in December 2008, theBlood-Horse Stallion Register Online<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(StallionRegister.com<\/a>) and the\u00a0Weatherbys Stallion Book Online<\/a><\/strong>(Stallionbook.co.uk<\/a>) will cross-link their exceptionally comprehensive and regularly updated racing and sales statistics. Breeders and owners doing research on stallions that have pages on both online registers will be able to easily and quickly move from one Web site to the other and obtain the most complete statistical picture available for the Northern Hemisphere\u2019s top sires.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Blood-Horse<\/em>\u00a0Stallion Register Online will also provide easy access to all the stallions that appear on the Weatherbys Stallion Book Online while Weatherbys\u2019 customers will have ready access through each Stallion Book Online page to the powerful\u00a0TrueNicks<\/a>\u00a0rating service. TrueNicks\u00a0is unlike other nick ratings that are calculated from a limited group of stakes horses because TrueNicks utilizes the database of The U.S. Jockey Club \u2014 the world\u2019s most complete records of Thoroughbreds and their performance \u2014 to produce a sophisticated rating based on all foals for a given cross.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the first step in a partnership that unites major Thoroughbred bloodstock authorities in Europe and North America,\u201d noted Mr. Stacy V. Bearse,\u00a0<\/span>President and CEO of Blood-Horse Publications.\u00a0\u201cLinked by the internet and driven by technology, this new cooperation will bring an unprecedented level of in-depth and timely information to owners and breeders around the globe.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Nick Craven, CEO of Weatherbys Ventures said: \u201cWeatherbys is delighted to have entered into a joint-venture with the\u00a0Blood-Horse,<\/em>\u00a0the premier source of information on the Web for North American stallions. We already enjoy a strong relationship with the U.S. Jockey Club through Weatherbys Bloodstock Reports and Equineline. Now this is the start of an influential partnership with the\u00a0Blood-Horse<\/em>\u00a0which will be beneficial to all those involved in our global breeding industry.\u201d<\/p>\n
