This post has been bugging me all afternoon, but I have no clue. :oops:

Can I have a hint, please? Or maybe someone else can answer it before my head explodes.

Native Dancer?? or Nasrullah? :wink:
Just guessing after I visited your site. But I'm still not sure if the reference on page 1 is the one you're looking for or the one on page 3 :oops:
Very nice BTW! :) :oops:

Very Good to have an inquiring mind in this business.

Congrats

The answer is Nasrullah as the question is posed. However, if we took the much smaller #of foals of Native Dancer, he is better. I found this very interesting as most people, and I used to be one of them, assumed that Native Dancer was found much more often through sons in pedigrees. And considering Native Dancer is considered a high source of unsoundness, he must have had an extraordinary amount of 'the good stuff' to be passed along so often in the tail-female line.

best, George
