The vast majority of blood stock people cherry pick anyway rather than sceintifically look at ALL the matings of similar backgrounds....Cause and effect are next to impossible to find in any single mating.
Population genetics is a far cry from the genetics of a single mating.

BS.
If you track breeding you can get a better than random idea of a horses
proclivity to early speed, liking the turf, first time starter winning, etc. Many years of following such info helps in determining what a horse may do in a more than just purely random outcome.
