Well surely there is a difference between Tenpins and Curlin that should be taken into account, no?

A gritty little horse or a world champion, best horse in the world, and likely soon to be winningest horse of all time. Maybe I don't understand breeding, but regardless of their lineage, isn't using one to judge the other's potential a little folly?
