I wouldn't.

But then again, I wouldn't employ any of their trainers or advisors either.

Perhaps they think having El Prado and Bayou Hebert as grandsires means turf?

When looking up Bayou Hebert, I found some interesting things about him. Mostly he wasn't worth his rather lofty sales price, but when looking up his progeny, I noticed this one pretty strangely bred horse:

With that much Inbreeding, he had to be an Alabama bred.
How many legs did he have?

How about this one for being inbred?

Mr. Prospector is both the sire and dam sire!

I know.

Even I wouldn't bang my daughter ... I don't care if everyone else thinks she's a perfect 10.. thats sick.

Don't get me wrong .... I still think Mr. Prospector is a great sire ... but, I really lost a lot of respect for him as a person when I saw Winlocs Millie in the form.

I've never seen Inbreeding like these 2 examples.

I thought it was weird last year when I saw a horse in Cali that was by Lear fan out of a Dynaformer mare (or vice versa ), with Roberto so close on each side.

I think the dam and sire of Sumitas were full siblings to each other.

Of course ... I speak of the poster ... not the halfway decent turf horse the poster was named after.

Bayou Hebert was an okay racehorse and a solid Louisiana stallion. Frank Brothers trained him, and I think Al Stall, Sr. owned him.
