Re: X-factor stallions
It doesnt exist. Nor should it. The X-Factor theory has been well and truly debunked by the scientific community as a great story, cleverly wrapped up in the mystique of a long lost ancestor (Pocahontas) and a modern great (Secretariat), but with little scientific validity.

It seems to me that the x factor theory is still well regarded. I hadn't realised it was categorically debunked. I'm sure what your selling is scientifically proven beyond all doubt. Thanks for selling it to us.

And it appears as if Boogers' website has been debunked as well.

There is no such list. The publisher of the 3d x-factor book will gladly sell you pedigree and conformation-based assessments for individual horses. 'Heart-scoring' (by the method set forth in the books, which doesn't correlate closely with actual performance) can be done - at an additional fee, and if the stallion owners are willing. This information will tell you absolutely nothing about the X chromosome. It's founded on a hypothesis that may have been somewhat plausible ~20 years ago but has since been disproven by genome-based evidence.
You might find this article and discussion illuminating-

I'm not selling anything, I've got enough work to not need to solicit on a forum. That said, I'd suggest if you want a good deconstruction of the X-Factor theory you should read this book.
