I think a more informative statistic for this discussion would be percent of stallions and percent of mares who have been evaluated, rather than the percent of the total population. Also, Mike said he looked for all horses that had a "prize" after their name. Is it possible that some horses have been evaluated and scored so poorly that they would still have nothing after their name? Just wondering...
