How would a Chrome TC win affect breeding/bloodstock?

Every horse has a story, and we've gotten to a point where there is some regal distant breeding everywhere.

If anything, this should reinforce the fact that good horses can, in fact, come from anywhere, and that you don't have to spend a big fortune to make a small fortune.

That was very well stated... almost a page from the King Glorious On Pedigree handbook. Well done.

No idea but if you had asked what the cultural effect would be?

Easy.

It would be the record-setting spike in prescriptions and sales of anti-depressants due to the vast number of predominantly older white males on horsie boards lapsing into a deep and collective depression (stemming from the arrival of the newly-registered, self-designated Chromies who will take over).

(The boards, not the world).
