From Chapter 1: I have been making notes for thirty-five years about Thoroughbreds who play an extremely valuable role in the pedigrees of international classics and graded stakes. I have highlighted broodmares who deserve to be recorded as having unique genetic qualities that favour the production of superior athletics on dirt or turf. . . . These mares are the elite of the stud book. Their sons and daughters have proven to be the superior carriers of highly desirable traits for classic speed.
