Francesa said that a Fasig-Tipton representative told him that at the time (2003), there was a lack of people who wanted to breed to him because of his the muslim reference to his name. I had a very hard time believing that people wouldn't want to breed to a horse for this reason. It sounded bizarre.
Did you ever hear anything along those lines about Mutakddim about five years ago?
