He's certainly proven to outrun his pedigree anyway. Here are the accomplishments of his dams.
1st dam- Donation (as mentioned, just an 11K yearling, winless in four starts)
2nd dam- Reddy Change (Seemingly durable Lousianna Bred sprinter who raced 57 times. Struggled mightily in route races. Going 20-1-1-2 in dirt routes and 4-0-0-0 in turf routes)
3rd dam- Coin Changer (went 1-for-11 and earned $4,036)
4th dam- Little Mortgage (never raced)
5th dam- Behavior (went 1-for-19 and made less than 5K)
As you can see....thats a pretty ugly tail female line from a racing standpoint going those five generations back.
John Henry's 3rd dam was four times stakes placed, and his 4th dam won the very important Matron Stakes as a two-year-old.
I'm not sure Lawyer Ron's pedigree really matters much anymore though, he's proven himself a very good horse, and he's proven he can vastly outrun his pedigree. I have doubts he'll be an attractive stallion prospect however....but hey, who knows.
