I hope it puts some of the big breeding info people back in their place. Listening to them talk about a great-great-great-great-greatmother of the Derby winner, as if THAT was the cause of what we see now (or something similar), is tiring. Every horse has a story, and we've gotten to a point where there is some regal distant breeding everywhere.
If anything, this should reinforce the fact that good horses can, in fact, come from anywhere, and that you don't have to spend a big fortune to make a small fortune.
