Just from the expierence of betting so many races with unraced maidens, I really prefer to bet against foals who dropped from old dams. The ones whos dams have produced a long list of winners from a long list of foals are notoriously bad bets.

I agree it works both ways....the problem with a mare that had good sucess with lesser stallions is that the matings were usually pretty well planned to give her the best chance and then when she hits with a runner they send her to whatever big stallion is trendy....without giving enough thought as to how she might cross on him IMO.
