Pedigrees are more than names on pages. "Ulbrich's Peerage of Racehorses" specifically rectifies this omission. Despite 30 years of research, Ulbrich's Peerage does not boast a plethora of names, just over 50,000. But those entries embraced by "Peerage" are the names that dominate the breed. Frankly, if one cannot find and connect a mare or the dam of a colt with its Family within six generations, then largely, its place in Turf annals is/will be forgettable.

Ulbrich's Peerage is not a database of theories; it does not promise magic; it does not promote any theory beyond the theory that knowledge is paramount and that "Peerage" is about information.

The Author of the following is not known, but she/he wrote that:

"Breeders fall into three categories - the FATALIST, the DOGMATIST, and the EMPIRICIST. The FATALISTS has given up endeavours to understand the principles of heredity and leave their matings to hazard or fancy. The DOGMATISTS apply the systems of those who proclaim that they have discovered an infallible formula for the production of high-class animals. The EMPIRICISTS, aware that they do not know the mechanism of the transmission of specific characteristics, seek a guide in the past by the study of origins."

The results of history have established the failure of the Fatalist and the Dogmatist. Welcome to "Ulbrich's Peerage" - the ultimate source of information on the Thoroughbred.
