Weasel Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Now I'm no pedigree expoit, but I like to trawl through some bloodlines from time to time. Here's the latest gem, which may or may not be of any interest to anyone! Spirits Aubeer ...winner of Bonecrusher Stakes....mebbe not bred for a Derby distance but ... He is a direct descendant of Secretariat .I mean, on his mother's side, not just a dash of Secretariat through a sireline. Spirit Aubeer's grand-mother's grand-mother's great-granma (!) is Somethingroyal, mother of Secretariat 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelTheFear Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Yes he is a direct female line descendant of Somethingroyal in the 7th generation. The only line that carries the MtDNA (Mitochondrial DNA) all the way to Spirits Aubeer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Large hearts are the result of many genes, not just one and it looks like it can be transmitted to a sire's son. Hard to get a lot of information/research but definitely not the simple large heart x-chromosone theory. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
