Yes, I am surprised, although I am no expert in that end of it (correlating race track success/tendencies with those of offspring). Worth noting that the matings for VG\'s first two books of mares were done by Rich Decker, who did the same for the first two crops of Distorted Humor, including FC, and he is of the opinion that VG\'s runners will be more precocious than DH\'s, based on the conformation of the two horses themselves.
