Future pedigree patterns of the racehorse will depend upon the strains used by private breeders much more than commercial breeders.

The above quote comes from Ken Mclean’s book, Quest for a Classic winner.

Ken McLean observed ‘trends’ as did so Franco Varola to then commercial extravagance, leading to over-breeding and a lasting legacy upon few sire pools.

Commercialism aside, the bones to classic-bred from the moderate and irrespective of commercial value can be considerably ‘upgraded’. Plus, to an unfashionable sire, where these sample pedigrees show deep and clever genetic patterns like building blocks. They never fail and its acquirement to genetic consistency is fundamental of superior breeding.

That discernment goes exhibited by Japan’s Shadai Farm, their cultivation of selection of ‘varied parentage’ is the forefront of excellence.
