Services

Providing pedigree research and sales support services for consignors, breeders, and bloodstock professionals at Thoroughbred auctions.

Pedigree Research Reports

K/Nan Equine prepares pedigree research reports for Thoroughbred sales and bloodstock evaluation. Reports are designed to present current family updates, black-type performers, and recent racing activity in a clear format that can be used quickly during inspections and bidding.

Research reports are available for:

Weanlings
Yearlings
Two-Year-Olds in Training
Broodmares
Racehorses

Each report includes pedigree updates, current race results within the family, and stakes performers relevant to the horse being evaluated.

Highlight Reports

Highlight reports are condensed versions of our full pedigree research reports. These focus on the most important pedigree developments and are designed for quick reference during inspections.

Research Books

K/Nan Equine prepares sale research books that compile pedigree research reports and current updates for horses entered in Thoroughbred auctions. These books provide consignors, bloodstock agents, and buyers with an organized reference while inspecting horses and reviewing pedigrees during the sale.

Research books include:

• Pedigree research reports
• Updated Catalog page
• New stakes performers and black-type updates
• Recent racing activity within the family

Updates are included with all research reports and research books.

Printed Research Books

Printed research books are formatted for use during barn inspections and on the sales grounds. Books are typically prepared using comb or spiral binding, with added plastic sleeves for any vetwork or reports that may go with the horse allowing the pages to lay flat for easy reference while reviewing horses.

Digital Research Books

Digital research books provide the same research and updates in a format designed for tablets and laptops. This option allows users to quickly navigate between horses and carry the full research file electronically.

Catalog Updates

Catalog updates provide the most recent pedigree activity for horses entered in Thoroughbred auctions. Updates are prepared directly on the catalog page and shown in red text, allowing viewers to quickly identify new information since the catalog was printed.

This format makes it easy for consignors, agents, and buyers to see new race results, stakes performers, and other important pedigree developments at a glance.

Updates typically include:

• New race results within the family
• New black-type performers
• Stakes winners and stakes placings
• Other relevant pedigree activity
