Profiling The 2021 Kentucky Derby Contenders

(This excerpt about me is by Peter Monaco, turf writer for the Spectrum, a publication of the Desert Valley Times. A big thanks to Mr. Monaco for writing this article)

Calvin Carter looks at horses a bit differently than most average horse enthusiasts. And, his trademark phrase, "From Foal To Finish Line" aptly describes how his Classic Champion Thoroughbred Profile software helps him to analyze the potential of Thoroughbreds from birth to racing and to the breeding shed.

"When I look at Thoroughbreds and study their pedigree, be they yearlings at the auction, runners on the racetrack, or even a hypothetical mating between a stallion and a mare, I see beautiful unique animals with potential."

Classic Champion Thoroughbred Profile® Software Correctly Identified Gotham Stakes, Tampa Bay Derby, Santa Anita Handicap Winners

 

©2021 Calvin L. Carter. All rights reserved.

 Saturday was a banner day for Classic Champion Thoroughbreds, LLC and a testimony for the power of the Classic Champion Thoroughbred PROFILE® software that I use to identify young horses with the potential to step up and run big races.

The profile software enabled me to correctly identify winners of the Gotham Stakes (Weyburn-$95.50), Tampa Bay Derby (Helium-$32.80) and Santa Anita Handicap (Idol-$12.80). None of those horses were on the board for the Brisnet PRIME POWER.

Since the 2016 debut of our software as a sales analysis tool, we now have a total of 67 horses profiled at auction that have won or placed in national and international stakes competition including two classic winners – Country House and Belichick - and four classic-placed horses: Good Magic, Mr. Big News, Max Player and Clayton.

For more information about the success Classic Champion Thoroughbreds has had identifying top yearlings at auction and the services we provide you can contact us at our website or call us at (844) 346-2223.
