The worst pedigree wins the Derby

Back when Brock, Dragon and others were here (actually at ESPN) a lot, we had some good threads but there are always those who just don't want to hear it and I respect that...still, I'm not gonna sit back when someone makes a statement that is simply wrong. I believe that stamina does come primarily from the dam side but Street Sense certainly is not suffering in that regard.

ah, the good ole days!!

Yeah, I miss a lot of those folks, of course some I don't! Wish I knew what happened to Dragon, even Papa.

umm, Bedazzled's direct family has no reines de course that i saw. yes, SS is related to Mr Greeley to some degree. but Spectacular Bid's family was often blamed for his lack of success at stud.

If you look at Bedazzle's 5 generation pedigree, you'll actually see a total of 12 reines-de-course, I listed the ones in her dam side but the total in her 5 generations is 12:
Nogara
Sister Sarah
Geisha
Flower Bowel
Flower Bed
Boudoir
Miss Disco
Delta Queen
Evening Mist
Teresina
Natalma
Almahmoud

i'm looking at direct family line, mother to daughter etc., which is clearer to make an evaluation imo. the tail female line.
