I used to have a couple of shares in racehorses trained by the late great Pat Eddery. Pat's brother Robert also worked at the stable.. I was talking to him one day about ( horse) breeding and the importance of buying one with talented relatives. He said " ah, this breeding stuff is a load of nonsense. Look at Pat. Champion Jockey umpteen times, multi-millionaire owns this wonderful stable. Then look at me . Still shoveling sh*t for a living". Robert did go on to be a trainer in his own right so maybe there is still some hope for Billy Root.
