Yes, Barbaro is related to the great Ruffian. Good research, because they all are related, most of these champions a great family line
No he was 16.2 HH she is 17.2HH
Yes, Secretariat,is also related to Ruffian, Foolish pleasure and Zenyatta, by either Bold Ruler or Native dance ( I believe if Secretariat was a human he would be those 4 champion horses uncle)
Secretariat, Man o'War, Zenyatta
No
Zenyatta is 17.3 hands
No. Although Impressive had thoroughbred bloodlines, none was from Secretariat lineage.
Given her size, 17.2 hands, she probably weighs in the neighborhod of 1150 pounds racing weight. Secretariat was 16.2 hands, a full 4 inches shorter at the withers and he weighed very close to that. Stallions, like Secretariat, have more muscling so they generally weigh more than females of the same height. Now that she is retired, she will weigh even more.
Zenyatta is the Lonesome Glory mold.
Zenyatta is retired but she is still alive :)
Secretariat was born before Seattle Slew, so really, it should be said the other way around. But anyway, Secretariat and Seattle Slew were indeed related, through their sires. Seattle Slew's sire, Bold Reasoning, was the grandson of Bold Ruler, who was Secretariat's sire. They are also related through the bottom half of the pedigree, through Princequillo, who is Seattle Slew's Great-great-grandsire, and Secretariat's damsire.
He was euthanized in 1989 for complications related to laminitis.
