I guess we are just going to have to disagree....

I've looked at some pedigrees of good horses from the days when foal crops were very small, and some of them looked like breed anything to anything types.

Arguably the two most important broodmares in American racing history, La Trioenne and Frizette, were both very moderate race mares. I believe one a career maiden, and the other a claimer who died in slaughter.
