Bloodstock

Bloodstock refers to the quality and pedigree of a horse, especially racehorses or breeding animals, which indicates their inherited traits and potential for performance. It involves studying a horse’s lineage to assess its likelihood of success in racing or breeding. High bloodstock value suggests the horse comes from a strong family line of successful predecessors, making it more desirable for owners and breeders aiming for competitive or reproductive advantages. Tracking bloodstock helps in making informed decisions about breeding, purchasing, and investing in horses with desirable genetics.
