Were they horrible? In terms of establishing or continuing a line ... they sure were.
Do you have any other questions ... which don't involve cutting or pasting?
But establishing a lasting sire line is not what is under discussion. Siring a son who can become a decent sire is what we were talking about in relation with Lawyer Ron. His buyers wouldn't care if every one of his good runners was a filly or a gelding, so long as he can sire runners, like many other grandsons of Danzig have. Furthermore, the chef-de-race distinction has nothing to do with establishing a lasting sire line; it has to do with having a lasting effect on the breed, as a sire of sires or a sire of dams, whatever. READ THE CRITERIA, either Varola's or Roman's.

What cutting and pasting are you talking about? I compose on-line using material from my own database and research materials. Write for a pedigree magazine, don't you know.
