I think that is one trap that a lot of trainers of promising babies fall into, much to the detriment of the individual horse.

However, if I were to blame anyone or anything for the failure of those named horses to reach top-class status, I suppose A.P. Indy would fit the bill...but he there are several reasons why he shouldn't be breeding aside from the copious, unsound plodders he begets...
