Perhaps looking at European horses you are more familiar with may help understand the unique style of the Thoro-Graph data.

Thoro-Graph performance figures take into account a wide range of factors, including weight, ground loss on the turns, effect of wind on the time of the race, and track speed. The lower the figure, the better the performance. Among Thoro-Graph's innovations are profiles which enable horsemen and serious handicappers to accurately assess the tendencies of trainers in different situations, and the sire's and dam's runners at different distances, over different surfaces, and at different ages. For more information about Thoro-Graph data and consulting services, go to www.thorograph.com.

Thoro-Graph was founded in 1982 to provide US racing handicappers and horsemen with detailed performance data. Not only does this information find winners (three of the last four NTRA National Handicapping Championship Winners have relied on Thoro-Graph data, but it is often used by yearling buyers and breeders in search of future champions.
