Hog Tie My Mojo Posts: 4847 Location: Opelousas, LA	jd&ez - 2014-05-04 7:42 PM Great story but this is an aberation. Just the fact that it is a story should tell you that. Proven breeding lines and proven training methods are proven because they work. We will have the occasional outlier in this business. They for good stories because of that. If that is true, than tell me why big name, proven trainers have to go thru around a hundred very expensive horses a year to find a handfull of horses that will get thier names in Bloodhorse, Speedhorse, etc.? There is a reason there are no real stats in horseracing, it would be easy to do but the big names don't really want that info out there. Too many nice horses fall thru the cracks, royally bred or not.

In my opinion all the great horses were/are an aberration. You can find commonalities in almost anything if you look hard enough. There are bits and pieces of the winning combination that people think they have clued in on, but in the end science would guarantee a result. There are no guarantees with horses, and that is what makes it fun.

Your quite correct jd&ez. But your word of aberration was strong. Call him a freak, and then everyone is on board. lol
