All the Earlier Trotting Champs say pre 2000, seemed to be by Pacing Stallions, e.g. Scotch Notch and True Roman, later on La Coocheracha, Noopy, and so on...
Alternatively, GREAT PACERS have come from Trotting/bred Broodmares, French Chef and such.....after all said and done, all the blood is related, back ONLY a "few" years ago, evolutionary wise!....Peter the Great to Peter's Volo, Scott, The Brewer etc. were NOT that long ago!...in real terms.....
(Granted in latter/recent years, with stallions going to stud as 3 and 4yo's, there appears 'a lot of generations' within the pedigree, to get back to them, but speaking in time, ONLY 100 years, not even that long.
'Freaks', 'Throw-backs', and "Sports" are all 'normal' in breeding, and then, the "Mutations" and/or "Game-changers" come along....How do WE explain these? Or should WE even Try?
What Purpose does it really serve to "analyse the Hair off the Superstar", it is NOT as though we can reproduce it....whether it be Adios, Cam, Nukes, Lazarus, C.C. or whomever....That is the "Breeding/thinking backwards" mentality.....
Must try to BREED FORWARD....aka, The "Where to from Now!?" Method....
That is to Say, Forward, From Blacks a Fake, Laz, Quinn, Treacherous, Bettor's etc.....using THE GREAT FILLIES and MARES, not the average ones, of any sex...…….
Time and Breed must move forward!
