Breeding Theories
Studies have proven that the best runners generally make the best sires and that the best racemares also make the best broodmares. While not all top male runners succeed as stallions (in fact, the percent of success is very small), it is far more unusual for a poor racehorse to beat the odds and become a good proven sire. It is much more likely for a poorly-raced dam to outbreed her own record on the track, especially when she has a good pedigree and is bred to good stock. On the other hand, statistics have shown that high quality Mares produce an inordinatey high percent of high class runners.
