The Blood-Horse has drifted to a new low of dysfunctional performance. In the Oct. 23 issue, the former flagship publication of Thoroughbred breeding offered subscribers insights into the relationship between successful produce and the racing class of broodmares, birth rank, and the post-barren effect.
All well and good, even if not exactly new ground. The only hitch is that the statistics used in the article don’t add up.
In his sardonic post on this train wreck, Boojum’s Bonanza builds the Blood-Horse a new orifice for their feckless frolic through a serious subject.
It makes one wonder if there’s anyone home.

Thanks.
So pleased to hear someone else is fed up with Blood Horse. I don’t even look at it anymore and it is off my favorites list. Any reason for the downhill slide that any one knows of? Do Arabs own it now or someone incompetent to report on this industry?
Denise,
BloodHorse is owned by the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association – commonly known as TOBA.
In an industry dominated by useless organizations, TOBA wins the prize as the most utterly useless. It wins in a photo finish against NTRA, The Jockey Club and the multiple State Racing Commissions.
