In any breeding, you take your chances. Yes, you have a better chance of getting what you want when you breed pure-breds, but cross-breeds might surprise you. My 1/2 Arab, 1/2 TWH is such a cross. But I will admit that I am VERY LUCKY to have a horse that gaits naturally AND has a "to die for smooth trot". When you take a big chance you can either have a big payoff or a big dissappointment. It's a crap shoot either way.
