APEX RATINGS for Australia 2023

Introducing new improved APEX TABLES for both countries, exclusive to BLUEBLOODS.

BLUEBLOODS is now able to present APEX tables, in an improved format showing separate tables for Australia and New Zealand. APEX tables for Australia show ratings for only those stallions which stand (or have stood) in Australia. APEX tables for NZ show ratings for only those stallions which stand (or have stood) in NZ. There are now three separate tables for each country: the default ratings are for horses with at least 150 year starters in the previous seven rolling seasons (runners count as year starters in each season they compete and earn prizemoney); then there are also tables for horses with 100 year starters and 30 year starters which give an insight into the progress of first and second season sires or stallions which serve smaller books. Finally, to recap, APEX A runners are those which earn an amount in the top 2% each season, B runners the next 2%, C runners the next 4%. Therefore ABC runners are those earning an amount that falls in the top 8% each season (2+2+4).

For further explanation refer to previous issues. Special thanks to Arion Pedigrees NZ who have developed these tables for Bluebloods and to respected analyst Bill Oppenheim whose brainchild they are. Andrew Reichard, Publisher.
