I guess you could argue that SS might not want 10f. He has had his share of horses run by him in the final 1/16th. His BC win looked like Arazi's CD win, and we all know how badly that colt flattened out six months later (at odds on). I certainly wouldn't make that prediction based on breeding though. He's by a horse than could run forever (and one that loved CD), and has as many stamina influences on the bottom of his pedigree as you are going to find these days.
