Testimonials

“G1 Goldmine is a great tool and is complementary to other pedigree programs available. In the short time we have been using it at Cambridge Stud it has proven beneficial with planned matings and in testing out theories.” “The recent seminar conducted by Leo Tsatsaronis proved very successful and I would recommend to anyone interested in improving their knowledge and ability to plan the best matings for their horses to consider G1 Goldmine very seriously.”

Sir Patrick Hogan, Cambridge Stud, Cambridge, NZ.


"G1 Goldmine is one of the pedigree software programs that I use daily in the pursuit of pedigree research, as I am always "seeking the power of the pattern". It is an exciting tool which should be added to the library of anyone doing pedigree research. G1 Goldmine allows for pedigree searches that are not available with other pedigree programs."

John Prather, Pedigree analyst and bloodstock advisor, Kentucky, U.S.A


"In planning matings, I'm always trying to factor in population genetics. G1 Goldmine's VGS Score not only reveals a genetic affinity, but explains whether a sire is working with a particular strain beyond contingency."

Robert S. Keck, Crestwood Farm, Lexington, Kentucky, USA

"A major part of my analysis for a prospective breeder centre's on the broodmare and her physical type. However it is great to check successful nicks and compatibility using Goldmine to cover off on the value of the actual mating. Many buyers are using this system to hone in on potential yearlings they wish to short list for inspection. So Goldmine is very important as we aim to breed a yearling that is a good type who attracts the maximum number of potential buyers for pre-sale inspections."

Ian Rimington, Bloodstock Sales and Marketing Manager Swettenham Stud

"To determine if a certain cross works well with another, and then listing the Group winners is a highlight of G1 Goldmine and one that I find quite beneficial. I particularly like it's thorough race records and detailed analysis of pedigrees which are easily accessible.

Ryan McEvoy, Nominations, Widden Stud, NSW, Australia

"I find G1 Goldmine an invaluable (time saving) tool in assessing the merits of proposed matings. I now also use it to select yearlings and potential breeding stock"

Kristen Manning, Pedigree analyst and Journalist, Victoria, Australia

"I just wanted to compliment you on your exceptional product. As a tool, in conjunction with my Modern Conduit Mare applications, your software fills in the holes within the evaluation process when examining the various hypo mating scenarios. An examination of the Conduit Mare influenced aptitudinal ranges coupled with the historical results of various pedigree crosses allows me to pinpoint the most successful mating possibilities for a client’s breeding program, and offer suggestions as to distance and racing surface tendencies. I use your program daily."

Bill Lathrop, Creator of the Modern Conduit Mare profiles

"When making a mating recommendation after independent research, G1Goldmine is an excellent tool to draw correlations to successes that are the product of the same linebreedings and crosses that I utilized in my clients' matings."

Clark Shepherd, Stonewall Stallions, Kentucky, USA

Well, I can now report it’s almost 4am and the sole reason I’m still up is the usefulness of this G1 Goldmine – thanks! Looking forward to using the full stud and stallion version. For now, I best get some sleep!

Gareth Downey, Small Breeder, Tauranga, NZ


"All I can say is wow! G1 Goldmine is a breeders dream, with only a few keystrokes I can plan a cross or place an ancestor in a particular position in the pedigree and bam!!!....I've got the analysis and review of over 14 years of graded stakes winners and as a leading breeder in the Caribbean area I have witnessed how international affinities hold true in any region. When I plan a mating...I first review phenotype and then I go straight to G1 Goldmine to dig for gold were gold has been struck!"

"Este programa creado por Leo Tsatsaronis G1 Goldmine se ha convertido para mi en una herramienta computarizada que es actualizada, dinamica y extremadamente util en mis estudios sobre la genealogia del Pura Sangre de Carrera y sus posibilidades de cruces"

G1 Goldmine is a goldmine of information and allows the researcher to find out the kind of information that is nearly impossible to gather any other way.

It has resulted in knowing little facts like there's never been a GSW in any of the major racing countries that descend from an In Reality sire line over a mare from an In Reality sire line, which is of special note to me standing a son of Relaunch.

It's really a wonderful tool and worth every penny to someone studying pedigrees and/or needing to construct pedigrees. I don't think I'll ever be without it again"

Vikki Burnham, Stallion owner, Louis Arthur Partnership, Arizona, USA


The G1 Goldmine site is one of the most useful tools to help breeders plan their matings. It's greatest advantage is that it allows one to test one's theories and get solid proof of whether they work.

William Huntingdon, Bloodstock consultant, Kingsclere, U.K.


G1 Goldmine is an invaluable aid to help you recognise Pedigree traits, Sire performance and multitude of other functions. Its simplicity is its beauty and it is a program that is a must for anyone who can read a pedigree page. What previously took hours, is now available at the click of a button.
