Understanding the Aptitude Profile

The Aptitude Profile within the G1 Goldmine Pedigree Search tool provides valuable insights into the success of a horse's pedigree over different distances and ages. Here's how to make the most of this feature:

Accessing the Aptitude Profile

To access the Aptitude Profile tab, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your G1 Goldmine account: Enter your username and password on the G1 Goldmine homepage.
2. Navigate to the Pedigree Search section: This can be found under the main menu.
3. Select the "Aptitude Profile" tab: Click on this tab to view the pedigree's success over distance and age after a search has been completed.

Interpreting the Aptitude Profile Chart

The Aptitude Profile chart is a simple and effective way to identify at what distances and ages your search has achieved (stakes-winning results). Here’s what to look for:

• Volume of Success: The chart displays blue dots representing the success of your search. The larger the dots, the more success your search has had at that particular distance and age.
• Interactivity: Hover your mouse over the dots to reveal a snapshot of horses that have won at stakes level. This interactive feature helps you quickly identify stakes horses from your search at specific distances and ages.

Detailed Breakdown

Beneath the chart, a detailed table provides further breakdown of these wins. This table includes:

• Countries: The countries where the stakes wins occurred.
• Level of Stakes Win: The level or grade of the stakes win.
• Sex of Stakes Winner: Whether the stakes winners are male or female.
• Age: The age at which the stakes win was achieved.
• Distance: The distance over which the stakes win was achieved.
• Surface: The type of surface on which the stakes win occurred.

Benefits of the Aptitude Profile

Using the Aptitude Profile tab allows you to:

• Identify Successful Distances and Ages: Quickly see where your search has been most successful.
• Analyse Pedigree Strengths: Determine the strengths of your search in terms of distance and age categories.
• Make Informed Decisions: Use this data to make informed decisions about training and racing strategies for horses with similar pedigrees.

The Aptitude Profile tab is a powerful tool that provides a visual and detailed breakdown of a pedigree's success, helping you optimise your breeding and racing decisions.
