Secretariat Inbreeding Only Works Through Storm Cat...

Postby llbean » Fri Apr 01, 2005 4:50 pm

With the exception of the Sapling (G3) Winner Shooter (Dehere-Defer West, by Gone West), and Peter Pan (G2) Winner Postponed. And guess what the source of Secretariat is in Postponed, Storm Cat's mama!

Not One GSW I can find besides those two has Secretariat coming through 2 Non-Storm Cat sources.

In contrast, at least 11 GSW, 8 G2W, 3 GIW, and One Eclipse Champion (Speightstown) have Secretariat inbreeding through Storm Cat, who takes after Secretariat in his conformation.

What percentage of horses inbred to Secretariat have one of the strains coming through Storm Cat or his dam Terlingua?

Even if it's 50% (and I very much doubt it's that high), getting 92.3% of the GSW, 100% of the G2W, 100% of the GIWs, and 100% of the Champions is huge!
