At least he has no other inbreeding in five generations. Storm Cat will get all the blame (or credit) for this one.

Just picked up this mare for a friend of mine. Real nice mare but told my friend I didn't know the pedigree as she never would have sat on the mare otherwise. One Storm Cat grandson came through my barn a few years ago and she jumped on the "anti Cat" wagon. Now that she's ridden her she loves the mare. :)

nope. As I said, it's the first I've seen.
Scary. INHO.
Watch for a possible increase in heart related problems if SC inbreeding takes off. That's from my own personal research/observations of storm cat sons and heart issues.

Interesting observation.

Myocardial infarction in thoroughbreds hasn't been an area of deep research. There was a paper done on some baselines back in 2003 (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1 ... x/abstract) but I am unaware of much since then.

never forget watching early workouts and seeing a heart attack at the finish line. Sobering sight, the track response crew was amazing though the alarm went off and they were there in less than 2 minutes

There's a mention in one of the Jane Smiley books--think it is in "A year at the races" that her vet told her that there is a connection between horses with large hearts and heart attacks. Makes you go hummm.

x factor, in those cases a large heart is probably a diseased heart.

I ran into some problems with this horse when checking the records of the parents. Jeedjard, the dam, is not in the Equibase system.

That said, someone bred an unraced son of Storm Cat to a daughter of a mediocre son of Storm Cat (sent to Thailand). I have to wonder what they expect.
