So a Gone West's earlier offspring might be A+, his latter might be a B, for an overall A.
A horse breeder can give a better explanation than this handicapper.

Not exactly true.
A stallion like Dynaformer was standing for 5K and getting a lot of crap mares back in the day when he sired a horse like Blumin Affair.
His book of mares obviously got a ton better as his offspring did much better than expected.
