So anyone who is not a sheikh has some hope.

Sumitas,
I'm bold enough to say that in this game, a sheikh and a little guy like me have exactly the same chances when our horses find their way into the gate.
It's happened before, and will happen again and again.
Today we found a few well bred favs go down to lessers.
It's just a big oval afterall. The horses do it, whether it's a 500K sire like Storm Cat, or one that doesn't hook with the sales ring buyers cause they haven't heard the name. It gives a little guy like me hope.
My guess is that many have forgotten Stage Door Johnny.
I haven't. The gene pool is pretty close.
