They are not unimportant, but if I had to decide if I would excel at knowing pedigree or have the ability to watch a horse and see how they move, like what rupert/richi can do, I think I would go with seeing how they move. I would bet I that if I had a copy of the DRF in front of me now, there's plenty of "well-bred" horses that are just plain slow.
