inbreeding to Roberto and Halo and Natalma . . sounds nice to me. Thoughts?

Yes, that is a nice match on paper. However, the real question is that is he a good physical match for her? That could be the real dilemma for Zenyatta. You have to watch the physical match. She needs a larger stallion similar in conformation. She could be very difficult to match that way.

I thought the same thing about Zenyatta. It will be very interesting to see how she does as a broodmare.

Rock Hard Ten would be pretty close inbreeding, besides he's not doing so great as a sire. But what a behemoth they might produce!

From a physical match up...would you want to send her to an equally large stallion or to an average sized (16 hand) stallion that matched well in conformation.

I don't think anyone would want to run the risk of an animal that matures larger than she is--well at least not for racing purposes.

For her MY DEAR, SEA THE STARS WOULD BE GREAT .......
