 We don't have to have the $10,000 bred up the butt horse to
 ride and in alot of cases to do very well. If I sound like

No, no line has "all" the potential.  But there are several lines that are 
beginning to emerge (and lines within lines).  I have no clue whether Valerie 
looks at pedigrees or not, but it is interesting to look at the pedigrees of 
the horses she HAS selected--and there are no real surprises in there.  With 
an eye for good horses, it is interesting how often one finds that one has 
selected a particular group of lines without ever having been aware of their 
breeding.
