By today's standard he was a war horse.
Now throw in the untimely injury and the likilihood that he would not have made mor then 3 more starts and I think he was fairly durable.
As far as Concolours grand foals I would assume they have to be the old TB stock as surely the old TB stock doesn't give way in one generation.

Up until they get injured every type of training works depending on the horse. I thought we were talking about the theory that harder training
prevented injuries like this? Of course that theory is wrong but at least it gives us fodder to talk about other than mud at Saratoga tomorrow.
