It doesn't seem like these kinds of things matter anymore. Look at what they got for Smarty Jones after a nine race career that ended with injury. Afleet Alex' career ended with injury. People don't care anymore. They aren't looking to get a horse that will be able to withstand a 30+ race career anymore. Those are things of the past. If u can get a horse that can withstand an 8-10 race career, u've got something nowdays so soundness isn't really that important anymore. How else can u explain why anyone would breed to Unbridled's Song?
