Get used to it.
Look at Elusive Quality's pedigree. Gone West (Mr Prospector over the Secretariat mare, Secrettame) on the paternal side and the stamina influence of Graustark and Sir Ivor on the maternal side. Plenty of stamina there even if Elusive Quality was at his best at shorter distances. I believe Gone West was one of the hottest sire prospects in his first years at stud.
Look for more derby winners from the grandsons and great grandsons of Mr. P down the road.
