No, I mean breeding for horses who can stand training, walk into the gate more than four or five times in a 12-month period - preferably for more than one 12-month period - without breaking something, and win good races (note the plural usage) against high-class horses.
Unfortunately, as previously noted, breeding racehorses is slow and uncertain; breeding bloodstock is relatively quick and sure
