dc.description.abstract	Lowe (1913) classified thoroughbred families (or direct line of descent in tail female) by number according to winning performances of family members in the English Derby, Oaks and St Leger. This system of family classification of thoroughbreds has survived to this day and is used in the Australian Stud book (Digby, 2001). This study was conducted to identify and highlight the most successful families that have contributed to Australia's premier Group 1, weight for age race, the Cox Plate.
