Now if someone has a strategy for picking a winner in a MSW, or better yet, one that drops from that condition into a maiden claimer, that would be interesting to know.

I'd also like to know others thoughts regarding "temperment" being inherited.
I know Bold Rulers are notorious. The reason I ask is that I'm breaking Shot o Bourbon (2yo filly) this week. Her granddad is Deputy Minister, as is her half sister, Ciel Bonne who is a grandaughter of Dehere (sired by Deputy Minister).
Both are very "even", and comfortable with people. The ones that I have that trace to Alydar and Sectretariat...yikes!
