After tracing the sire lines, of AP stallions & mares in his 5 generation pedigree, this is how they appeared.

AP has 12 crosses of Nasrullah, in his 5 generation pedigree, thru his stallions & mares.

10 crosses of of Native Dancer---9 crosses of ND--- 4 crosses Tom Fool---3 crosses Petition---1 cross Fair Trial.

If your mare has prolific crosses of Nasrullah, Native Dancer, & ND, it would be best to seek another stallion.

SKY DEVIL b. C, 2013
Sky Mesa---Lovely Daniella by Gold Token

Sky Devil was a type 1 FB, that has the highest risk for a career ending injury.
Sky Devil was inbred to 5 Ph. stallions.
4 X 5 Mr. P.---5 X 5 Secretariat---5 X 5 X 5 ND---5 X 5 Exclusive Native---4 X 5 RAN. 1 Ph. mare 4 X 5 Gold Digger.

This type 1 FB mating is an example, when inbreeding is carried to far, being inbred to one sire line, Phalaris. Sky Devil has 27 crosses of Ph. stallions in his 5 generation pedigree, a high figure for unsoundness.

Louis the reality is that there is only the lines quoted by me. Only 2 Northern Dancer 5x5, there is not 9 Northern Dancer lines.

THE PIZZA MAN b. G, 2009
English Channel---I Can Fan Fan, by Lear Fan

TPM is a type 2 FB, being inbred to 3 Ph. stallions. 4 X 4 Lt. Stevens---5 X 5 Nantallah---5 X 5 Nashua. 1 NP mare 5 X 5 Rough Shod=Questionnaire

TPM has 26 crosses of NP stallions & mares, in his 5 generation pedigree, they are:

6 crosses Fair Play---5 crosses Prince Rose---4 crosses Questionnaire---3 crosses Hyperion---2 crosses Hurry On---2 crosses Teddy---2 crosses Swynford---1 cross Sundridge---1 cross Peter Pan.

We are not seeing these 26 crosses of NP stallions & mares in those type 1 FB, that have prolific breakdowns.
TPM pedigree reads a blend of speed & stamina, turf, & soundness.

"TPM has 26 crosses of NP stallions & mares, in his 5 generation pedigree"

No, 15 of the 32 ancestors in his 5 generation pedigree are Phalaris line. But I know you will ignore facts so this is my last word on it.

Every breeder has his own formula to breed the BIG Horse. Many are called but few are chosen.
These type 1 FB have created widespread unsoundness. When you have a balance of NP & Ph. stallions & mares in a mating, you will breed tbs that average more lifetime starts,

Those type 2 FB matings are averaging more lifetme starts. Because they have inbreeding to NP stallions or mares. Those NF bred matings with no inbreeding to Ph. individuals, have more starts than those type 2 FB matings.

Our tb of the present, are not the same tb that were here 30-40 years ago. the breed is now 95 % from the Ph. sire line. This is why those type 1 FB, dont average more than 10 lifetime starts.

Euthanized after breaking down in the Falls City Handicap at Churchill Downs, November 26, 2015

CHIDE br. F, 2012
Blame---Yell, by A. P. Indy

Chide was a type 1 FB, being inbred to 3 Ph. stallions. 3 X 5 X 5 ND---5 X 5 Hail to Reason---5 X 5 Buckpasser.

Chide had 26 crosses Ph. stallions & 17 crosses Ph. mares, in her 5 generation pedigree.

Chide has the same inbreeding patterns of those type 1 FB, that suatained career ending injuries. Whats lacking here is, there is no inbreeding to those NP stallions or NP mares. That would create soundness & hybred vigor.

Louis

All of the crosses to Pocahontas are present in the 10th generation and beyond in Secretariat's pedigree, she does not appear in his 5th & 6th generation.

DDT: I went back to my research notes of Secretariat, & i am in error. I added up the generations wrong, thanks for posting, Louis.

GIANT'S LEXIS CH. ch. G, 2012
Giants Causeway---Blissful, by Mr. Prospector

Giant's Lexis was a type 1 FB, being inbred to 4 Ph. stallionxs. 4 X 4 ND---4 X 5 Halo---5 X 5 Hail to Reason---5 X 5 Nearctic. 1 Ph. mare 5 X 5 Natalma.

Another Type 1 FB, goes down with a career ending injury. All these type 1 FB have on thing in common, they lack inbreeding to those NP stallions & NP mares, that creates soundness.
