Think to do with breeding but could be wrong

Like the "Bale" greyhounds ?

More to do with the breeder rather than the breeding, I think

Eight "geegee" horses today,,sires Atlantis Prince (4) Clangalang (2) Tough Speed (1) Wordsmith (1)

[Sands]

The two in this race not without some chance, especially the top weight
