Safe..... predictable....well related but can it be super.....the good genes are already out there ......can this be better than Uncle Tommy or average like Rebel Queen or another Rebel King.......the chances of later siblings out performing earlier smarter crops is a risk.....the older mares and sire become they loose genetic prepotence and the progeny go from good to ordinary......went to the right place for a fair price and is a ticket for the big race.....only got to run into the 3rd place to recoup purchase price....

Got to give it to Summerhill .......here they fashioned a mating to make it look like it was bred by Lammerskraal themselves......Ah a Western Winter .......wonder how much magic he still had in that old ball sack......maybe still plenty.....neat little ped picture....but the MrP 3X4 is not for me......also a ticket for the race all be it a pricey one......
