Good question.  So you want to know if Raffles would comprise 1% of all AHR
Arabs.  Can't answer that for you.  I think more importance should be put on
the not so obvious names on the list.  After all, couldn't you have told me
before I started this project that Raffles was going to be near the top of
the list.  It gets really interesting for hits below 50.

This is very interesting.  just to be sure I understand.  you have 62
ancestors listed for each AHR registered Arab that has 2000+ AERC miles.

that would be 55800 horses? (that many names listed, of course with many
duplicates)

so that would mean *Raffles impressive 798 accounts for just over 1%.?

How would these numbers compare to the same procedure done with a random
selection of 900 AHR Arabs.? I know it must have been a lot of work to get
that entered... would it be possible to input the random sampling?
