I think you are still missing the point. A nice pedigree DOES NOT ensure good on-track performance. I don't think anybody would be foolish enough to argue that, because there are tons of brilliantly bred horses who haven't done squat. Green Monkey may be another. I am one of those that DOES think pedigree matters, but I won't be taking part in any Green Monkey Day parades. The point remains that pedigree can be an important factor in determining a horse's ability, especially his or her ability to stretch out to longer distances. Is it the only factor? Of course not. But it is A factor, which (getting back to the original point) makes this Thunder Gulch colt's debut all the more interesting.
