His mother was Mien, whose father was Nureyev, whose father was Northern Dancer.


So my question is, how can Northern Dancer be Big Brown's great grandfather on both his father and mother's side? Unless he was adopted

Isn't that inbreeding?

that's about as far away from inbreeding as you ever get in kentucky.
