KENTUCKY WEST BREEDING PROGRAM
"There is really no quicker pathway to success in a Thoroughbred Breeding Program than to utilize three time-proven axioms in the selection of breeding stock:
1. Use a stallion with a very high quality pedigree (and with a proven track record if possible).
2. Breed this stallion to a stakes-winning mare or one that is at least closely related to high-class performers.
3. Utilize inbreeding and crossing patterns that have repeatedly been found in the pedigrees of important performers.
if a breeder is able to apply these simple concepts on a 'numbers' basis, he or she is almost guaranteed to achieve some level of success, assuming he or she has access to good land and competent trainers."
