I really appreciate Shari Eisaman sharing her observations and I think the Blood Horse for publishing them. I found her comments on the connection between early speed and distance pedigree elements to be fascinating. I find it very interesting that someone in Mrs. Eisaman's position would have that perception. Thanks for sharing.

I found the comments by Shari Eisaman on her observations of the connection between distance pedigree and early speed to be very interesting. Makes a lot of sense. It shows they have demonstrated quickness and/or acceleration while at the same time possessing an inherent scope for improvement that individuals who are running similar times but have speed only pedigrees would not possess.

Enjoyed this artical very much. While I'm a Quarter Horse guy I love listening to what pros have to say. Pedigree, Early Speed, and precociousness. Advice to live buy. I would ad conformation to avoid physical problems later on. I especially adhere to the attitude. I think colts that show a little fire and competetiveness will always do better than horses who dont seem to care and are easy to handle at a young age.
