Heh. Looks like the way some horses were inbred to Lexington and St. Simon in earlier centuries.

well, obviously they wanted to breed Frankel to a mare that was bred like him . . . if the horse doesn't have three eyes, and won in his first start, then I guess it works!

I like it. In the old days they weren't afraid to inbreed close up. But then, that is a Lot!

Anything outside of three generations is meaningless.

All this so called inbreeding is 4 great grandfathers 2 of which are the same just in reverse order in the pedigree.

I like it! 3x3 sex balanced and centered Danehill and 3x3 sex balanced "delta" Sadlers Wells - very clever!

The second dam, Well Spoken (IRE), has Northern Dancer 3 times. Very interesting pedigree.
