Thoroughbred Daily News AusNZ 22 August 2022 – article on Jo Griffin of Lime Country Thoroughbreds
Jo admitted she spends a lot of time going trough her matings and if she is stuck or she just needs a second opinion, she speaks to Jane Henning from Pedigree Dynamics.
“I prefer that to the computer based systems,” Griffin remarked.
Adam Sangster, Swettenham Stud (Vic)
“Jane has been a part of the Thoroughbred industry for many years and during that time, I have utilised various aspects of her services through Pedigree Dynamics.
In recent years, Jane has analysed the pedigree compatibility of Swettenham’s stallions. These reports have given our clients and staff a great guide to which broodmare lines are most likely to get the best out of each stallion. A win for both the stud and the breeder!”

Terry Henderson, OTI Management (Vic)
“Our South American acquisitions would not have happened without Jane’s professional assistance. She knows the markets, has reliable and honest local contacts and follow ups our concerns. She is one of the best agents we have used.”

Shayne O’Cass, Journalist, News Limited (The Sportsman)
“I consider Jane to be peerless in the field of analysis and selection of thoroughbreds and have often sought her opinion and considerable expertise while writing copy.
She is a most amiable and obliging person who is held in high regard in the industry.”

Peter Vogl – Pedigree Analysis Client
“Hi Jane – Just a note to let you know the Galeisha x Testa Rossa mating produced Rosaleisha, a 2-time (should be 3) winning filly which includes the Albury Guineas. With Bjorn Baker & hopefully some black type next prep. Thanks for the advice and I look at the plans you’ve done for us quite often.” (May 2016)

Fernando Gil Bermudez (Chile) – Co-agent
“A client of mine was the former owner of the Champion Chilean mare Moscona and he was urgently looking for a daughter of her to maintain the female family line. I didn’t know anybody in Australia, so I contacted Jane through an ad I saw in a magazine. She was a very serious horse person who really knew her work and totally honest in appraising the horses. After a few tries, we found and bought the mare we were looking for. Jane’s recommendations and opinions on the mare were 100% true. No horse had ever been exported from Australia to Chile before, so Jane had to liaise with the transport company and the Chilean government to set up new rules for export.
Recently Jane and I worked together to secure a Chilean Champion Turf Horse for Australia. It’s been a great experience to buy and sell in Australia through Jane Henning.”
Geoff Nicholls, Perth (WA) – Buyer of tried racehorses and broodmares
“We could not be happier with Pedigree Dynamics and Jane Henning. Two tried racehorse purchases obtained through Jane Henning have produced two multiple winners, especially with Daka’s Gem’s stakes money now approaching $500,000. He has won 13 races, is a Group 2 and Listed winner and has been stakes placed on five occasions for us to-date.
A recent third purchase through Jane was a well bred young broodmare, in foal to a quality Group 1 winning sire. We have since received generous offers from others wishing to purchase the same mare from us. That is encouraging in itself and she has since produced an outstanding colt.
Jane certainly understands the thoroughbred racing and breeding business in Australia and internationally, and she remains our first contact when seeking advice.”
Nelson Sepulveda (Chile)
“I was looking for a pedigree analyst to learn and to get a stallion prospect with studies about linebreeding and nicks, so I always had thought that we need a son of Danehill in Chile, foaled in Australia. I was searching in the internet and I found Jane Henning, and begun a great story. First I did an interview with her because she knew about Chilean thoroughbred industry. The article was amazing and two chilean magazines wanted, and now she is very famous in South America.
She has been a great person, a fantastic professional and a partner in Australia. With my friend Jose Miguel Álvarez we sent to Jane one dvd of a chilean star called Cefalú, and in a few weeks she had a client for the horse, the story is really amazing and I just can say that Jane is the right person if you want to do some deal in Australia. Since then we have bought and sold many horses together.
She has great experience and in Chile we are going to work with her a lot, because she has won respect in our country with work, talent and success.”
Peter Morley, Belhus Racing (WA)
Hi Jane, just letting you know that Accretive won for us at Ascot on Tuesday (Melbourne Cup Day)! He’s been close up at every start for us and I’ve got ten happy owners! Thanks for finding him… regards Pete

Baden Brown, Oakdale Park (NSW)
“I have used Pedigree Dynamics to plan several matings for my mare. I am very pleased with their services. A mating that was given a top rating has resulted in Uber, a horse that won the Group 3 Black Opal Stakes for seven wins (incl one Listed) and five placings for a total prizemoney of $372,430.
I thoroughly recommend Pedigree Dynamics services for optimising your chances in the sales ring and on the racetrack.”
Antonio Francesco (New York) – Buyer of racing / breeding prospects
“Having put four racing / breeding prospects to me over the past few years, Jane Henning has proven that she has been on the money 2000% on returns.
In the horse business it is near impossible to match that. She has a great deal of knowledge in her field and recognizes the needs of racing styles for different countries. She has offered me four investments – all of them are today major graded I, II, III. In considering these horses, I have received a great deal of information from Jane, not just on the breeding side, but also on the racing side. I use her as my agent and trusted person and I recommend Jane Henning of Pedigree Dynamics to anyone in the horse business.”
Ken Rose, Boomerang Berrima Stud (NSW)
“I first met Jane Henning about 15 years ago at a “Tesio Power” seminar at Randwick where she gave a talk on how the Tesio theory based program and philosophy of breeding horses was explained.
She impressed me with her great “no nonsense” knowledge of the thoroughbreds ancestry and how line breeding, inbreeding, as well as previously successful outcrosses works in upgrading current families whilst utilising to best advantage existing active families mating patterns.
Jane has helped me every year since in mating and upgrading my mares to the stage where we were racing and syndicating successfully our yearlings together with our presence at the major sale rings in Sydney and the Gold Coast turning the breeding arm of our business into a commercially profitable operation.
Jane always found the time to explain all her mating recommendations in a manner that is easily understandable and her passion for the industry keeps her knowledge of the “fashionable” trends always current and available to take advantage of market opportunities.
Jane was also involved in selling our excess broodmare, stallion and racehorse stock.
I therefore recommend Jane highly for any services required.”
Camille Alexander, Breeder at Pitt Town, NSW
Firstly, thanking you for all your help. We found the analysis very useful and considered all the horses and aspects of these covers you suggested.
Hope this finds you and you well and thank you again for all your help – I know I am a bit OCD about all this and its been a huge learning curve and I am sure there is much more for us to learn. But that said we have a terrific head start thanks to your work – some lovely colts to kick start our ‘Covid project’.
