Common sense already knew it. There's no guarantee that paying a $50,000 stud fee gets you a foal guaranteed to be a 40% better race horse (40% better earnings) than the foal from the stud that costs $30,000. That's all the study said.

Not really an "eureka" moment in the history of genetic research.
