I know nothing about racing but have read the thread with interest and have been astounded with the knowledge on here - particularly about breeding lines. Anyway, I'm so sorry that a beloved horse that meant so much to so many has been lost, but I have to admit that I didn't know of the horse. I don't think that matters except that a dear friend has gone. I do have a couple of questions and I hope not to upset anyone. I know that only offspring that are from natural coverings are allowed to be registered/to race - why is that? Also, would the stud have taken and frozen his semen just so his bloodlline could at least be carried on? Not for racing obviously - but why is the rule about natural coverings so set in stone?
