This tip, from the bloodhorse, may help with pedigrees.

"So it is probably best just to remember that Bold Reason is the broodmare sire of Sadler’s Wells, and Bold Reasoning is the sire of Triple Crown winner Seattle Slew, and that Hail to Reason is both the sire of Bold Reason and broodmare sire of Bold Reasoning."
