In my opinion, it was almost as if this breeding took place in hopes of a filly. I know Tesio and others would inbreed intensely into one of their foundation families and hope for a filly... it seems these intensely inbred fillies often made exceptional broodmares when bred to an outcross.

Probably a risk I wouldn't want to take. It seems that the ones that are overbred like that are extremely highstrung and fragile. I wouldn't want that in my barn, but what do I know? These people have been doing this for a long time, I'm sure.

absolutely. her breeding future calls for an outcross, possibly to another intensely inbred stallion. possibly ?

I heart you. I was just thinking of Quiet American.

[sumitas]

Real Quiet and Quiet American would not work ...you really have to hypo the two...i've created a temporary name for 171 on pedigreequery.com , "Mineub" for hypo purposes...for fun.

Before I even look I know its too much Mr. P.

[sumitas]

yeah, ya really gotta dodge any Seattle Slew and Mr Prospector lines in a potential sire.

Im not a paying member on that site so I cant look at the hypo, but I knew right away it was too much Mr. P. Although, Quiet American is the first horse that pops in my head when I think of intensely inbred stallions of note.

You know who I love? Seattle Fitz. He should go amazingly well with Mr. P line mares. I think he's a huge bargain for small breeders in KY. Gorgeous animal as well.
