In 10 years, with the horse genome finished and testing to find various combinations of genetic markers that really correlate with good runners, you will be left in the dust.

With all do respect, I probably forgot more about pedigrees than you'll ever know....this is a field that I study with high frequency....there are NO certains when it comes to pedigrees and it is hard for me to even put into words anything for certain, so maybe i shouldn't have tried, but I am still confident that trends and patterns of what I have seen work in pedigrees is as good as anybody else's opinions on this subject from what I've heard....
