Matings

Planning a mating is a merger of intuition and information. Utilizing experience and science is often the sweet spot in pairing two thoroughbreds.

Tools used today with research from the computer like Nicks and CompuSire, exemplify how technology and more easily accessed data, have enhanced mating choices.

However, we can’t lose sight of the time factor and how long it takes to determine if a mating or particular nick was successful.

Nicoma has been blessed to be a part of some truly special matings throughout the past.

This wouldn’t be possible without the support of our clients whose mares make it an enjoyable adventure year in and year out in the pursuit of creating the next champion on the racetrack.
