I'd rather have a moderately bred horse that gets some heart from the parents than an overbred beast that doesn't seem to care about winning the game.
I'm told that the Giant's Causeway's are a bit flakey as well. They don't seem to uniformly inherit their dad's will to win.

Fupeg had a lot of issues. Drysdale did an amazing job getting him to race as well as he did.
