How did DEEP RESPECT win

 Opening day of the Bangalore Summer season saw an upset in form of DEEP RESPECT {R5-7} ridden in front all the way by the ace jockey Suraj Narredu

Why was it quoted at liberal odds of 10/1? 

Answer lies in her pedigree which screams staying capabilities and most of us assumed it won't be effective in a Sprint race against a proven sprinter who was installed as hottest fav of the day

So, what did we miss??  

Apparently some younger horses use muscle energy in the initial phase of career hence are able to sprint despite their pedigree traits. As they mature pedigree traits start appearing as lung power becomes more dominant instead of muscle powers.  This explains why Indian Derby winners are able to win a sprint race in initial stage of career. 

We will see that gradually DEEP RESPECT will struggle to repeat the sprint type of runs in future runs. But such horses are progressive types and should be treated with respect
