She's by Real Quiet out of Alto Flyer. Somebody decided that, rather than asking to unlock her, they'd just create another entry so "Really Flying" and "Really Flying3" are the same horse. I was gonna delete the 3rd and transfer any new info to the first, but #3 had progeny and other more complete info while #1 didn't. It won't let me delete the first one instead because it's locked which of course caused the whole redundancy in the first place.
Point being, can we just unlock and delete the first Really Flying? (Unless someone really wants to take the time to go through and move progeny and racing info just so the original entry can still be firsties.)

It's better when feasible to consolidate duplicate entries under the lowest numbered one because when new entries are created the db defaults to the first unused 'slot', ignoring higher numbered entries of the same name for purposes of ruling out the possibility that the entry being created is for a horse that's already in the db.
All relevant info for Really Flying has been moved to a single entry (now unlocked) and both foals previously attached to the deleted third entry are now attached to that one.
