Any thoughts on Endeavouring covering Aaron's Protege?

I guess I should have left a link for the hypomating. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Don't have the stats at hand, but I am of the understanding that inbreeding to secretariat hasn't worked out all that well.

Just my two bits worth.

Food for Thought

Using the G1 Goldmine as a resource, there are 287 graded winners listed with Bold Reasoning on the sire side of the pedigree and 151 listed on the dam side. (530+ total) There are none with inbreeding to Bold Reasoning. If you drop back a generation, there are 256 graded winners with inbreeding to Bold Ruler so BR inbreeding does work just perhaps not through Bold Reasoning.

There are 23 graded winners with Secretariat inbreeding mostly through Storm Cat/AP Indy. I would expect those numbers to rise based on the excelence of those sires in a pedigree. I would not want to state an opinion without seeing the individuals but based on paper alone, perhaps you should continue looking for a sire. Let us know what you decide and your reasoning.

It can take quite a bit of time to research a question like yours since you are dealing with such an obscure stallion. It is a tough time of year timewise - mares foaling and such.

Thank you everyone and that was the kind of help I am looking for. Obviously none of this is perfect (looking on paper, etc.) and I am not looking for a Stakes winner exactly but it would be nice. I just want a good cross with a high % to make it to the track and win a race or two. Not asking for much am I :)
