The breeding values have been estimated using information from sport, inspections and talent tests and in addition the available DNA profiles (genotypes).
The DNA profile of the horse itself is included here.
The breeding values are presented in relation to the dressage breeding direction.
An average KWPN dressage horse has a dressage breeding value between 80 and 120.

Performance test report

Type 2002 (March 14 - May 22, 2002)
Sir Sinclair is a well developed, riding type stallion that stands in good rectangular model. The wither and shoulder should be more generously developed. The back is hollow. The croup is round and should be a little longer. The hindleg is long. The stallion has weak pasterns.

Pedigree information
With an excellent performance test and performance record (Z1-level dressage) Krishna, who has produced 5 colts, is a good foundation for the son of Lord Sinclair. At a young age Lord Sinclair (Lanciano x Raueck) did well at his own performance test receiving 147.16 points test for dressage, thereby beating the others in his age group by a mile. The dam"s sire, Flemmingh Keur, can pass on type and movement as no other. Through Le Mexico and Amor we come to the prestatie mare Najada prest (s Lucius xx) who also produced the KWPN stallion Zandman.
Grandmother Christa produced La Croix (Z1-dressage, s Voltaire) and great grandmother Vitha is the grandmother of the Z1-dressage horses Marlou (s Burggraaf) and Nelson (s Burggraaf), a full sister to the KWPN stallion Zandman.

Sir Sinclair, bred by Monica Drohm of Doetinchem, was born in 1999. This Lord Sinclair son is out of the ster preferent sport (dres) mare Krishna, a Flemmingh daughter. After Sir Sinclair was selected for the performance test, he was auctioned in the 2002 KWPN Select Sale in which he fetched the highest bid: € 360,000. The stallion remained in the Netherlands long enough to finish 10th as a four-year-old in the Pavo Cup competition under Marieke Voorneveld. After he arrived at his new home at Iron Spring Farm in the USA, Sir Sinclair won Reserve Champion at the 2004 USEF Young Horse Dressage Championships; and the following year, he captured the Champion title in the same competition. Under Belinda Nairn, the popular breeding stallion showed in the national Prix St. Georges. 

Sir Sinclair produced 89 registered offspring in the Netherlands. Of these, more than half have earned at least the ster predicate. With a score of 108 for both conformation and movement, the stallion's ability to pass on these traits is well above average. Sir Sinclair's sport breeding values are based on 117 offspring which participated in the inspections and 127 which compete in the sport.
