PZ, would you help?
Article is Animal Genetics, Vo1. 32, No. 6, pages 360-364.
It's from 2001, and discusses TB lineage from the use of micro-satellites.
I know it's old, but I think it was the article that put forth the 95% Eclipse sireline figure.

In sire line, or in full pedigree? In full pedigree one study (unpublished) cited by the TB Times Racing Almanac says no horse is more influential than Herod, that the avg. modern TB is 17.2% Herod. The Godolphin is 4th on the list, at 12.7%.
