I couldn't care less who agrees or disagrees.
I've been around way too long and looked at way too many horses and pedigrees to buy into something like that - and I'm shocked beyond belief you seem to buy into it to some extent.
The examples could go on for hundreds of pages.
Look at a horse like Kip Deville - who's like the consensus top turf horse in the land right now. He's a Roan.
KD's sire Kipling is a bay and his dam Klondike Kaytie is a roan.
He took after his dam in color. She was 17-for-47 lifetime in dirt sprints, 3-for-13 lifetime in dirt routes, and never once hit the board in 3 career turf starts. Her figures were much better on dirt - and her siblings all failed in their turf races.
He didn't take after his sires color - but his sire was 2-for-5 on turf, 3-for-22 on dirt, and bred for turf on top and bottom.
