DownYonder, I think your rough calculation would generally work pretty well as long as there was thoroughbred up close in the pedigree. If there wasn’t you would really have to know your bloodlines to know thoroughbred content to be able to come up with the percentage. I just tried putting my youngster in HorseTelex and although in the first 3 generations there isn’t 1 thoroughbred listed (you can find his pedigree in the sale ad I bought him off of http://www.warmblood-sales.com/SoldHorseDetail.asp?HorseID=32649&UserID=6400), when you go back 9 generations he comes out at 38.28%. I think he would be an example of a tough one to do a rough calculation for percentage of thoroughbred in him, however pedigree guru’s might disagree.[/QUOTE]
In this case, HorseTelex made it easy because they had already calculated the percentages for the sire and damsire of the OP’s filly (Escudo II and Art Deco). Since I was able to start with those figures, it was a simple matter of adding the 100% blood contribution from the filly’s maternal granddam. If HorseTelex hadn’t listed those two stallions, I doubt I would have tried to figure it out.
