Thoroughbred Racing Columnists Archive (Andrew Caufield) from TDN [Thoroughbred Daily News]

Andrew Caulfield
Andrew Caulfield writes a weekly column for the Thoroughbred Daily News on pedigree analysis, a fascination which crystallised during the 12 years he spent as one of the principal writers at Timeform, where he was responsible for researching the pedigrees of all the two-year-olds. The former editor of The Thoroughbred Breeder, Pacemaker and The European Racehorse, he was also The Sporting Life's bloodstock correspondent for 12 years. For the past eight years, he has written a weekly racing column for Japan's Gallop magazine in Japan, and is also works as a bloodstock consultant, principally for Juddmonte Farms.
