I am going to handicapp the derby and races like that based on ability, and not based on some pedigree. Take a horse like lion heart, he clearly overcame what could be considered spotty distance pedigree to finish second. To much is made out of pedigree in todays breed, its just not as relevent as it used to be, especially on dirt.
