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.
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
