Average Earnings Index - AEI
|
Lifetime Average Earnings Index - AEI - indicates how much purse money the progeny of one sire has earned in relation to the average earnings of all runners in the same time frame. The average earnings of all runners is represented by an index of 1.00, and is calculated for each calendar racing year. A stallion's AEI is calculated for each year he has runners and then averaged for all years his progeny have raced.
