This site, which went live in June 2016, provides reviews of the pedigrees and achievements of thoroughbred stallions and racehorses, with an emphasis on the European horse racing and bloodstock industry. All of the articles are by Dr Sieglinde McGee, a widely-published expert who has been writing on the subject for almost 30 years. None of the content has appeared elsewhere. Unless otherwise stated, any photographs posted are also the work of Dr McGee.
This is a one-person endeavour.
Pedigrees & Bloodstock Review also has a Facebook page.

** 70 freshman sires with their first 2yos in 2017 (37 in Europe and 33 in USA) are reviewed! The articles show the venues where those of their progeny catalogued for sale were offered as yearlings and they include those auction results (all vendor buy-backs listed as 'not sold')
** 48 sires with their first yearlings in 2017, showing their progeny catalogued for sale and updated, as the data come in, with additional lots and auction results. US-based stallions with nothing catalogued here, yet or at all, are currently being added.
