Columbus, OH — Researching pedigree, performance, and production on Standardbreds has never been easier, thanks to Pathway, the USTA’s online database. And starting on Monday (May 11), Pathway will be offering discounted Breeder’s Bundles of reports for those doing breeding and production research.

Some of these new, discount packages, with current data updated daily with results from around North America, replace the information formerly contained in the static, annual publication Sires & Dams, which has been discontinued.

Several heavily-discounted offers are available to all current USTA members. Current Breeder’s Bundles available are:
