Helix Bloodstock measures variation at the DNA level in genes associated with racehorse performance. Based on this genetic analysis, horses can be separated into three separate groups, with each group containing significantly different proportions of superior vs average horses.

This classification provides valuable insight into the genetic potential of each horse to become a superior racehorse.

• Horses classified as Helix Gold have a much higher probability of achieving a peak racing rating of 90 or higher than horses in the Helix Silver or Helix Bronze categories. 
• Gold level horses are up to 7x more likely to achieve a rating of 90 or more than a Bronze level horse. 
• And up to 3x more likely to achieve a rating of 90 or higher than a Silver level horse.

          *Superior horses are those horses which achieve a peak rating of 90 or higher.

         **Average horses include all horses which do not achieve a peak rating of 90 or higher, including maiden and unraced horses older than 2.
