genuine risk
A question for all: Genuine Risk is a daughter of Exclusive Native. Can we say that Genuine Risk carries the Exclusive Native sire line or is that incorrect because she does not have Exclusive Native's Y chromosome?
very few???
Mares do not carry a Y chromosome at all. Zero mares carry a Y chromosome, not very few.

You do realize that Genuine Risk has been dead for several years, right?

something new every day
So, did Genuine Risk carry the Raise A Native sire line? (assuming that she was a normal female with the XX situation in her last homologous pair)

She did not carry his Y chromosome if that is the case. However, other genes could have expressed.
all horses have a sire and sire line
Isn't it correct to say that all horses be they colts or fillies have a particular sire and sire line?

genuine risk
Should I include Genuine Risk as one of the 18 horses that won the roses while carrying the Ran sire line or should I leave her off the list and reduce the list to 17. 17 male line descendants and one filly without the Y chromosome.

As I understand it, from a handicapping standpoint having RAN in the 'tail male' pedigree (sire line) is significant. Since the genetics of that signficance cannot be attributed to superiority of RAN's Y chromosome (the Y being the only common factor to all members of a 'sire line' but having no functional variance in the domestic horse) I see no reason why Genuine Risk should be excluded, especially since she's only one generation removed from RAN.
