Forget dosage points. As currently formulated, it doesn't keep up with the emergence of new sires. Moreover, it ignores the importance of the females in the pedigree and that was important in Barbaro's case - his dam was by distance-limited Carson City, but she was an atypical Carson City in that she was successful at distances beyond 9f. Roman Dosage worked for about 10 years, but because he limited his outlooke to 4 generations, it quickly went out of date.
