Round Table was a 'perfect storm'; he had the stamina of his sire Princequillo and the speed of his dam's side (Sir Cosmo over Friar Marcus may mean nothing to you, but to GB-ers of the 1940s it meant 'sprint speed'.) Round Table's sister Monarchy won only one stakes race, the 6f Arlington Lassie S at 2, and most of her descendents have had similar profiles - good at 2 and/or over distances of a mile or less. It takes a sire of serious stamina like Le Fabuleux or A.P. Indy to get anything like a stayer from this line. And in my mind, Jo'burg doesn't qualify.
