Grade/Group 1 winners, Andiroba (in Puerto Rico), Blue Sea (in Chile) and Duarf (in Peru) all are inbred to Blushing Groom, as are the stakes horses, Incredible Carson, Miss Bridget Jones, and Zafzala (bred by the Aga Khan).

This database shows 56 horses as inbred 5x5 or closer in the 'inbreeding' report from Blushing Groom. I've added two other that I know are inbred, but not showing up in the report for a total of 58 horses.

Of the 56 showing up, 8 are marked as black type. Benicio is not marked black type, but comments include 3rd place in G3 race. Footstepsinthesand is in the database, but not showing up on the report. So if those two are added, that would make 10 black type horses out of 58 or around 17%.

Of the black type, 3 are indicated as G1 winners. Footstepsinthesand is in the database, but did not show up in the inbreeding report. So if you ad him, that's a total of 4 G1 winners out of 58 horses or around 6% G1?

Note that this is ONLY those horses entered in this database and that show up under the 'inbreeding' report + the two other horses that are inbred to Blushing Groom, in the database, but not showing up in that report. Many horses do not have any racing information entered for them.

BUT if the report is a fairly complete, then those are very good stats when compared to the breed average.
