not to mention biologically as they really are half siblings. So jes because horse racing has a problem with science does that mean we have to be incorrect as well?

What blows my mind is when two horses have the same sire and same broodmare sire yet they aren't even considered half siblings. Weird sport.

i think all three of you know full well why horses from the same sire arent' considered siblings.

yeah, i know. genetically they are half brothers, or perhaps more, but for practicality's sake, it makes more sense to reserve that for horses from the same dam.
