I must admit, I have never heard of a stakes winner with a speed index of 66.... but then again, the money she won for winning a stakes race isn't very impressive either. So your mare doesn't even have a ROM... but she is a stakes winner... go figure? None of her colts have done anything as far as APHA records go. What distance was that SI, I wonder? Also could have been a newly built track, as they will have very low SI's at first. I think it's based on the speed of the first horse to run & win on that track somehow. That's why a horse with 100 SI may not hardly run an 80 Si on another track even though it's going the same speed as it did on another track. I've also always heard race trainers always say, you couldn't go by their SI as to how fast they are, as whether they won the race was what counted. Plus the race competition for paints isn't as demanding as in the race QH world, especially back then. So for that time, that SI may have been pretty good for a paint & that amount of money in that day & time also may have been pretty good for a small stakes race. After all, our dollar was worth lots more back then...lol...
