I agree, though many folks are willing to gamble and try the offspring instead of the horse.

Which CAN work, and I'm not too picky, so long as the horses DO get tried.

OK, but, what happens to the ones who dont make it? If they are by and out of none performers, I would think they have a even tuffer time going on and not filling up the auction yard then those that are at least out of or by performers.
With a performer as a sire and dam, at least the propensity is there to do something and proof they could take training and the riggers of hauling.
