System works. Well, six months later, an idea that gestated for 10 years has been delivered, thanks chiefly to a web designer named Max and an engineer named Jeff. eMatings.com is up and running as of the time and date above, and hopefully it develops into a platform that usefully serves the bloodstock industry worldwide.  I’d like to thank the international cast of leading pedigree experts below for signing on and believing in the viability of delivering pedigree research through a platform such as eMatings.com, and appreciate their patience for seeing it through. If eMatings.com succeeds, it will be because of them. — Sid Fernando
