Not really, I could look and see a horse trained by Steve Asmussen and sired by Gone West will probably be precocious and ready to roll...It's not that hard if it's a 1st timer. Pedigree is not that difficult, most with a basic knowledge like myself could spot precocius sires and they print the trainers stats at the bottom of the page. If they have had a race that's when you can see the trip the horse had, other than that if it's a 1st timer and you have never seen the horse, it's luck and I don't kid myself otherwise...
