"Equibase.com customers have always had convenient access to a wide range of comprehensive handicapping and racing information but that did not include detailed pedigree information until now," said Hank Zeitlin, executive vice president and chief operating officer for Equibase. "This will give fans who have a special interest in a particular horse the type of information they want."
Edited ReleaseCatalogue-style pedigrees and five-generation pedigrees for individual Thoroughbreds are now available on equibase.com, Equibase Company announced Thursday.The pedigree reports are the latest offerings to be made available for purchase on equibase.com from The Jockey Club Information Systems and its equineline.com pedigree information service. Last year, lifetime past performance products from TJCIS were added to the equibase.com menu of products.

The equineline.com Enhanced Five Generation Pedigree report provides a view of a Thoroughbred's pedigree going back five generations, and includes inbreeding and dosage information. "TJCIS and Equibase share a commitment to expand accessibility to pertinent Thoroughbred information," said TJCIS chairman Carl Hamilton. "The addition of two of our most popular pedigree reports to equibase.com enables us to better serve the information needs of racing fans and others within the industry."
