FINALLY: a good match up-- the Virginia Derby

[Bobby Fischer]

stamina seems to be from the female side.
However, Tale of the Cats on the male side seem to always make a cheap horse.

and there may have been one or two turf horses by ToC that could be called "somewhat classy" as well.

In general, it just isn't a sire you want to breed to if you want a classy route runner.

Oh I agree. No one would ever confuse ToC as a sire of routers. However, the dam in this case was bred to run all day long. Further review of the pedigree shows even more stamina influences than what were mentioned in that brisnet thing i copied.

Gio Ponte has a DI of 2.25 and a CD of .69. 10f is well within scope from a pedigree perspective.

I'll probably be accused of belonging to a "little clique" for posting this, but I happen to think that this chart tends to confirm what I already believed regarding DI. It is basically useless in this regard.
Is there a trend in the numbers? Sure, but only someone with very little knowledge of statistical analysis would look at this chart and argue that it proves that DI is of any use whatsoever.
If you took an average handicapper with a moderate amount of pedigree knowledge, and asked him or her simply to assign every horse a DI-type number by looking only at the names of the horses in the first two generations, I am confident that the long-term chart numbers would be similar (like DI, there would be an obvious relationship, but not a particularly insightful one).
In terms of determining stamina, I think most people agree that DI is pretty pointless.
