generally speaking yes. But a couple of my better horses you could have put in english classes on the show circuit. they were as dossel as it gets. I had a horse once named Night Rover. Most beautiful gray horse you've ever seen. He was by gray dawn II out of a awesomely bred mare. name escapes me right now. bought at keeneland as an unraced three year old. His first trainer barely won at 4.5 furlongs with him as a three year old. he was fat and out of shape. bred for a route of ground. I got him and I had to train him hard. I galloped him everyday myself. we just had a connection like a guy has with his dog. I won alot of races with that horse. Even allowance level. Before I got him he was getting beat double digits for 5k at thistledown. I took him there a year later and won three in a row with him from 12K to allowance company. I lost him several years later for 10K at chicago and he never ran well after that. But that horse an eight year old could have ridden him through a tornado. Had a few others similar in disposition.
