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.
You are making my point for me. That racing success of the sire and dam, drug induced or not, can have very little to do with the success or lack thereof of the foals
