Around the barns of the great breeding farms-Spendthrift, Claiborne and the like-and under the canopies covering the caviar at auction-weekend parties, the talk was peppered with the names of sires: What A Pleasure, Round Table, Sir Ivor, Northern Dancer. A casual comment about one filly brought the quick question: "How was she bred, ma'am?"
