Thoughts on this mating???

A friend of mine purchased an unraced filly from Jayeff B Stables by the name of Lend. She's by Coronado's Quest and is tail female to Grey Flight. Ironically he didnt have the money (She was obviously named appropriately) to breed her to the stallion he wanted in Louis Quatorze. He offered me half interest in the foal and full breeding rights if its a filly. On paper, it seems an extremely interesting cross with lots of inbreeding most notably of interest to the two great producers Shenanigans and Grey Flight.
Thoughts on this cross? Physically he says they match up perfectly which is why he's so determined to send her to him but he has 10 horses in training and 6 other broodmares and didnt want to pay the stud fee on his own if he didnt have to.
I remember reading that intensely inbred fillies often make the best broodmares. I wouldnt call the possible foal "intensely" inbred, but it is reinforcing the broodmare blood in the pedigrees.
Would love some insight before I bite!!!
