Default Big Time Pedigree (Half to Indian Blessing!)

The 2-year-old colt Spaniard has never raced, and already he has a reputation as something special. That happens when your half-sister is champion filly Indian Blessing, when your works are outstanding, and your trainer is Bob Baffert. It goes against protocol to hype a first-time starter, but Baffert has trained enough top colts to know Spaniard could be the real deal...

I can't exactly put my finger on why, but reading this line from you really made me laugh.
However, I must admit that I was SHOCKED to learn that this horse you were discussing wasn't even a Giant's Causeway. I'll at least give you a few points for expanding your horizons.

It came straight from the article on DRF actually. Your initial train of thought most likely holds truth.
