Many will argue that excluding the quality of the mares from the process makes them inherently flawed but I think they could work even just focusing on the stallions. The main problem is that you are either in or out. If you are in you are weighted exactly the same as every other horse that is in. If you are out you don't count at all in determining the dosage. There is no in between. So as of yesterday any offspring of AP Indy was getting no dosage points for him. Now today they get a whole influx of points from him. If you are by a son of AP Indy then you weren't getting points for your sire or points for your grandsire either while AP Indy wasn't a chef-de-race. There are a lot of well bred horses out there these days that you have to go back 3 or 4 generations just to find a single chef-de-race. So their entire dosage index is calculated while completely ignoring everything in their pedigree in the last two to three generations. That is about as stupid of a concept as you can get.
