Thoroughbred Nicking Patterns Louis Finochio, 1978 edition, softcover, 378 pgs., very good. Research focused on stallions producing the most winners and stakes winners in North America of foals from 1966 through 1973, including North American bred horses that were winners in South America, Europe, Mexico, Panama, and Puertu Rico. Under each stallion is given a list of winners with their dam/dam’s sire/ mare’s male line (Teddy, Phalaris, Prince Rose, etc.), indicating which mare’s male line nicks best with the subject stallion.
