If you like Sun King in the Classic...

I missed that point on Sun King's breeding. His sire, obviously, was pretty good at 10f, and Summer Squall was no slouch at either 10f or the mile and three sixteenths distance. To say Sun King wasn't bred to go long is downright preposterous.

Supposedly horses get stamina from their mare side, which I have never really understood how the mare can throw stamina, but I am guessing this is why he is saying this, as if i recall, Clever Trick is there somewhere

There is a very clear reason why the mare MIGHT infer stamina to offspring. If you want to know Scavs, PM me. But be ready for a bit of stuff about exercise physiology, cells and genetics. It is actually quite interesting I think. It makes perfect biological sense to me.

But I still would rather watch a horse actually prove stamina on the track rather than looking a pedigrees.
