I'm not a horse racing aficionado, but I wonder if inbreeding will become a problem, if it hasn't already.

I knew that Secretariat made a ton as a stud. But, surprised that 50+ years later, 18 of 19 contenders are his offspring. Incredible. Obviously, a testament to his greatness.

Secretariat might be actually closer to 10-12 lengths.
