Do you think using dosage and other breeding info is going to give you more info than those who are close to the 1st time starters have? There's always inside info, but it's most dangerous, and IMO insurmountable, for 1st-time-starters.

Well... I don't pay attention to dosage for most races, but I do look at the pedigree on first time starters. Let's say there's a Smart Strike or a Lemon Drop Kid on the weeds for the first time... I can promise you that I'll give that horse a second look based upon their 'turfy' pedigree. Sorry, but I find the whole pedigree angle fascinating. I agree that once a horse has had a few starts, you can't really base anything on their pedigrees, but how many of these horses have run 10 panels in a race before the Kentucky Derby? You don't think their pedigree has ANY bearing at all on how far they can go? I do.
