% of Yearlings that go on to win

[gbettle]

Howdy all, Hope this message finds everyone well. Listening to Timeform Radio yesterday, I overheard a quote from a Timeform rep ( Jim McGrath?) that went along the lines that only 7% of all Yearlings that go on to race ever win a race: 93% never go on to win a single race. Is that true? Where would I find a source to back that up? Cheers, G.

Re: % of Yearlings that go on to win All the more reason to avoid one for the PL racehorse! What happens to all of those that don't make the grade? Are they sold on to farms and little riding yards where you take your kids for a ride, or do they just shoot them or something?
