    Emilio's Artiscape colt, Grand Stride, was a very good thing beaten in the Linden Huntley, he scattered them last night and I'd be surprised if anything beats him in the Crown Final.

And i wouldn't say that a 2min mare would throw a better foal but you would hope that it would throw a horse with the same or if not better ability. There has been a lot of unraced mare's throw great horses, so what it probably come's back to is how strong the family is and what sought of type is it.
    Totally agree wth you mango, I'd much rather a foal from an average performing mare with a good genetic heritage than from a mare that has had a long racing career. There's been very few mares(and that includes the champions) with extended racing careers that have been hugely successful broodmares.

    utter crap

    firstly where do you draw the line for 'over raced' horses?
    second, how many champion or outstanding mares are there compared to average mares related to something good out there? very very few
    and the best 2 mares i know of -blossom lady and tailamade lombo are both outstanding broodmares

    its simply a case of numbers,
    one outstanding mare has 10 foals suitable for racing, 5 of those are fillies they also go on to have 10 foals, suddenly theres 50 foals closely related to that good mare - compared with 10 of the original horses out of the good mare
