l notices to purchasers guide to cataloguing 12 Notices to Purchasers Criteria for Pedigree Compilation The following criteria have been agreed in principle by those Sales Companies represented on the European Sub-Committee of the International Cataloguing Standards Committee. 1. Pedigrees may not extend beyond the fifth dam. Only black-type performers and their links may be mentioned under the fifth dam. 2. Certain relationships to the subject animal are designated ‘key positions’. Key positions comprise: - the subject animal him/herself - the first dam of the subject animal and any of her descendants Only in the case of animals in key positions may the race names of non-black type races be carried. Only in the case of animals in key positions may a 4thplacing in a Group/Graded race be mentioned (NB Such a placing will not confer black type, except as set out on page viii of the ICSC Booklet 2010). 3. Jump Races appearing in Part IV of the ICSC Booklet may confer black type, but only if the type is italicised to differentiate it clearly from the black type given to flat race performances. 4. No reference to relationships may be made other than in the case of the Full- (i.e. ‘own-‘) brother or sister. (That is to say, references such as ‘three-parts sister to’ and ‘bred on the same lines as’ are disallowed). Except in the case of the subject animal, the horse to whom the animal in question is related must be a black-type horse. 5. ‘Excellence narrative’ must be restricted to the top horse in any qualifying category. Thus, while a Sales Company may elect to use any one of the following terms – ‘Champion’, ‘Top-rated’ or ‘High-weighted’ – such terms as ‘2nd Top-rated’ may not be used. Further, excellence narrative may only be applied to horses which - have been officially rated top within the following categories or combination of categories: Continent Country Sex Age Distance range - have been published in the relevant section of the ICSC Booklet 6.
