Premium Grading

Premium Grading

Grading by progeny

Because TCR Premium grading is a breeding status grading, a TCR Premium grading can only be achieved by a TCR-registered stallion or mare that has produced TCR 5-Star graded (show quality) progeny. To achieve a TCR Premium grading, a TCR-registered stallion or mare must therefore be recorded by TCR as having produced at least two TCR-registered progeny that have been awarded a TCR 5-Star grading. Because TCR Premium grading is a ‘grading by progeny’, a TCR-registered stallion or mare does not have to be graded to achieve a TCR Premium grading.
