About Ed Hess
Expertise
Have trained thoroughbreds for 30 odd years. Have been a licensed trainer for that long of time. I continue to train my race horses and thoroughly enjoy every day.

Experience

Experience: Licensed trainer for over 30 yrs. Have had lots of winners in all different types of races - from bottom claimers to top quality stakes winners. My best money winner was Aristocratic Cross (multiple stakes winner). My best claiming horse was Navajo Family, winner of 12 races in one year. I still enjoy racing a modest stable of horses each year.

Topic: Horse Racing



Expert: Ed Hess
Date: 3/6/2008
Subject: is it the sire or the dam?

Question
My filly has a strong sire line and a so so dam line - do you have an opinion about whether or not a filly might lean towards the sire's strengths? She is a Prospector granddaughter (sire) and Mambo granddaughter(dam).  Can you tell me anything about Mambo? Thanks Ed!

Answer
hi -- well i think that the odds are 60% for the dam and 40% for the sire. when i would look to buy a 2 yr old ,i would always look at the dams produce record, to see how many foals made it to the races. i am not familiar with the horse mombo.but i am sure if you look on the internet on one of the horse racing sights, you can find some info on him .. hope this helps you  thanks ED HESS
