There is an old saying that a poor tradesman blames his tools.
Dosage Index is a concept that to me is a flake on an ice cream; nice to have but unnecessary to enjoy the ice cream.
No breeder sets out to breed a St Leger winner; they are a by product of a derby horse late maturing or late improving imo.
The importance of The Triple Crown is well explained by SteveM. Many thanks sir.

On another tangent..
I have an idea that if Coolmore could turn back the clock Galileo would have gone the Camelot route. The ease of his Derby win indicates he had the tactical speed to win a 2000gns, and I imagine they regret not taking that route.
The fact that Galileo got St Leger 1/2/3 in 2006 in his first crop along with an Irish1000 gns winner coupled with See The Stars 2000 gns victory reaffirmed their error imo.
Hawk Wing was hyped and put forward as a possible TC horse the following year until the wheels came off. The next horse associated with TC was Teofilo (by JSBolger), a son of Galileo.
APOB and family are now singing Camelot's virtues as a loner, a horse apart. Methinks they saw this before but did not recognise it.....
