Ro Parra - Millennium Farms (Bloodhorse.com "Talkin' Horses" (10/18/07)
"Our racing stable has had over 500 winners and over 40 stakes winners since the year 2000. However, we did not begin competing and winning Graded stakes races on a regular basis until we hired Thoro-Graph and Jerry Brown back in 2003. Our relationship with Jerry and Thorograph has been the biggest factor in our “change of fortunes” over the past few years. Student Council was bought on Jerry’s recommendation. Jerry had been after me for a few months to try to buy the horse. He really liked his pattern and his “sheet” figures. He liked him even more as the Pacific Classic field began to take shape. I was a big fan of the horse from the beginning because of his pedigree. Jerry’s insistence caused me to be more aggressive and ultimately, we were able to get a deal done. Both Vladimir and Steve deserve credit as well for getting the horse ready to run."

Aside from our function as provider of the most
sophisticated and accurate data available for the thoroughbred
industry, Thoro-Graph also acts as a consultant for horsemen,
advising on purchases and management of racehorses.
But we are not bloodstock agents (nor do we
expect to be paid as such) any more than we are trainers or veterinarians.
Our job is not to produce horses for sale - we do not work for
the seller - we work for and are paid by the buyer. We analyze
our proprietary data to find horses that offer superior value
for the money, and help our clients spot them so they can maximize
their return. Most purchasing of race horses is based on what
the horse (or its relative) accomplished for its previous owners.
We seek out horses with ability before they fully reveal themselves,
so that our our clients don't pay premiums for the triumphs of
others.

Non-Stakes Caliber Horses
Thoro-Graph manages horses at all levels. Moving
a horse up and down the claiming ladder properly requires accurate
performance figures to show the true form cycle.
Just because a horse finishes off the board
at a certain level doesn't mean he's not improving or becoming
more valuable. It's our business to know the relative ability
of all horses at all levels at the tracks we cover. We make the
same effort analyzing a claimer as any Stakes horse we manage.
