Ask Mark Reid about pedigree and see what he says(once they have run as Stud says). Lets see he bought peace Rules(jules, lol), You(You and I),etc.
Then ask Baffert(what does he know, all hes done is win the Derby 3 times, the Preakness 4 times, a Belmont and a Travers) about pedigree. Lets see Silver Charm(anybody else by his sire ever do much?), war Emblem(Hows our emblem working out these days?) Real Quiet(17,500 at auction) etc. Of course after the fact the pedigree guys shout that if you went far enough back in any of these animals that the genes were there. Well no **** Sherlock. If you go far enough back in any pedigree after the fact you can find good genes. Point is once they step on a racetrack and show what they can do the rest of it is all bull****. English Channel cost 50 grand at auction. What the **** happened? Were all the pedigree geniuses asleep at the wheel at that sale or hungover and didn't notice his great bloodlines?
Pedigree is something that you have to look at to give you a general idea of who will like grass first time, mud first time, go short or long first time, etc. But once they have started running what the hell difference does it make? They show you what they are on the racetrack.
