I'm talking all things being equal - brilliant speed is tops at seperating.

If you take a cheap speed career claimer with no pedigree and breed him to a bunch of mares who are worth only the meet on their bones - you aren't getting much.

If you take a slowpoke like Jazil and breed him to an excellent band of MANY mares - he will disapoint in a big way I believe - but you'll get some runners.

Jazil was very speedy

Great read on quarter cracks and how they are repaired and the type of shoes BB wears now. Heard this on Capital OTB show this AM by BB's foot therapist:
