The fact is that with Gone West, Storm Cat and AP Indy all carrying Secretariat blood (through the female side) there is bound to be alot of "Sec. inbreeding."

Jump Start was a steal. He suffered a catastrophic injury which could have been fatal. He may have been one of the best of his crop but we'll never know. His first crop has 18 winners, conceived for $5k each to mares of moderate quality. His babies should stretch out well and are winning on all surfaces. Anyone who got in withhim early should be dancing for joy. Remember, many of those wins are coming at A league tracks like SAR, BEL and CD. That's not easy.

And they were also selling quite well... he's been a blessing for a lot of small breeders.

Very well stated.
If he was bred to any great mares I sure haven't seen them.
As a matter of fact most of the winners hes had come out of mares I never even heard of.
They all seem to be hard knocking, and they love two turns.
The best is yet to come from him.
