The way a horse moves behind is probably more important in ability. I have had some horses that were awful movers in the front legs but made up for it with superior power behind. All that and one i can afford
Please Chuck it's all Fn luck. You are basically shooting dice.. Look at Point Fn Given monster on the track huge horse and perhap the least correct version of a TB ever. Sunday Silience looked like a dog Hancock couldnt give him away and that 8 mil colt a few years ago was breathe taking and I think he is still working in 38 and change over a 3 variant track lol.. 90% luck 10% skill.
