Pedigree question - Surface/ Track Condition / "Going"
 

Who contributes to Surface/Going preference? Sire or Dam or ?


Is there a belief that either the Sire or Dam Sire or Other(such as female family) are the DOMINANT factor related to how a horse likes a certain type of going or track condition?

Turf "going" could offer a clue, in places where there are so many turf races over non-firm tracks, there may have been some research.

I haven't really heard anyone say "Sires determine the going preference" etc...

I have heard that hoof size & conformation affect surface or going preference, and that makes sense logically
which parent influences hoof characteristics?
