It depends on the individual family line. In some cases, it is the sire and in some cases, it is the dam.

Breeding winning Thoroughbred race horses

I agree completly. The Green Monkey had a royal breeding, was incredibly expensive, and couldn't win. I can't remember who it was, but one of the greastest thoroughbreds of all time, according to the Blood-Horse, was a cross between a teaser and a blind mare from England.

From what I've seen, a good racehorse has to have the willingness to run too, not just the bloodlines. For example, Buckpasser. There was never a doubt that he *could* run, there was just always the question of whether he *would* run!
Never underestimate your horse's pride - or he will dent yours.
I remember that!
That horse was named Roamer! He was U.S. H O T in 1914, U.S. Champion Older Male from 1915 - 1916, and leading eaner in 1914. Too bad they gelded him!

Just look at Raise A Native and all the derby winners his family line has been apart of its almost 80 percent of derby winners have him in there dosage make up so in all aspects the family and bloodlines of are sport years ago have developed what we now have for horses and pedigrees seems its alot more complicated then suggesting its just a roll of the dice..
