well bred fillies

[miraja2]

Me too. I love evaluating pedigree.
People who are anti-pedigree can always point to plenty of horses that had questionable pedigrees and ran brilliantly, and also brilliantly bred horses that ran questionably. My favorite example of that is a horse named Bear Witness. BW had the fairly unsusual distinction of having BOTH his sire AND his dam being former HOY. His broodmare sire was also HOY (twice). Could a pedigree get any better? But the horse was 0 for 16 on the track.
But that is not the point. Pedigree obviously does not guarantee anything.....but it does matter. Magical Ride showed that yesterday in a very impressive debut. Of course it is always hard to tell after only one race, but I think she could be a very nice filly going 7 or 8 furlongs.
