I posted earlier that Sharpo was a good sire to follow on soft / heavy ground
Just looked up RP progeny stats HEAVY 6 WINS FROM 44 RUNS 14% SOFT 17 WINS FROM 149 RUNS 11% A total of 23 wins ??????????????? |

That wouldn't be the full picture as the RP database is not reliable prior to '89 (or possibly '88). So, for instance, Risk Me is not included in those stats, and he was a very good son of Sharpo who loved soft ground, and won the Greenham, and some Group races in France.

Risk me was foaled in '84.

Surely there were more than 6 wins on heavy ground
You must be correct about the lack of reliability of the RP data |

I think it was Heavy when Risk Me won the Greenham, but as before, that win wouldn't be in the RP stats as it was '87.

The progeny list does not include Cutting Blade, another son of Sharpo, who was Lester Piggott's only Royal Ascot winner as a trainer when he won the Coventry, though I don't think the ground was proper soft that day.
