Hypo errors

It's any stallion or mare with Vice Regent in the pedigree. I've tried with multiple horses and confirmed the report truncates after that sire. ex. http://www.pedigreequery.com/index.php?query_type=hypomating&search_bar=hypomating&l=&all=No&g=5&hypo_name=&hypo_yob=&hypo_s...

Good vs Bad large heart?

I've read that Sham also had a large heart, but a diseased one. Assuming the X-factor theory relating heritable (healthy) heart size to performance is valid, is there a sub-set of inherited large hearts that are UNhealthy based on genetic predisposition, not damage? Also, I wonder if human hearts ar...

On the downside, she's unraced and there's not much family to help you as her siblings are mostly by obscure stallions and her 2nd dam Black Warning only produced one registered foal.

On top of that, given the furor, it's probably the worst way to get a nice update. Still, ...

Breeding advice

I'm trying to select a stallion for my mare: http://www.pedigreequery.com/heavens+dancer She's ~ 16 hands, a little light boned with a pretty head and no glaring conformation issues. She's got a yearling Intidab filly and a Mustanfar coming, which we'll likely keep to race. Ideally her 2010 foal wou...
