Seattle Slew's LH-X gene traces down his female line through Myrtlewood to
Blue Larkspur.
Seattle Slew and Mr. Prospector are both from the important Myrtlewood family. So, it comes as no great surprise that Seattle Slew, cross well with Mr. Prospector. Mr. Prospector has always had a good record of crossing with Nasrullah and his son Bold Ruler. Seattle Slew is a great grandson of Bold Ruler, but is inbred through a son and a daughter of Nasrullah 4x4.
Dehere is out of a mare by Secretariat, which when combined with Seattle Slew in the past resulted in Horse of the Year and leading sire A. P. Indy.
French Deputy has a connection with Seattle Slew that is similar to the one that has led to success in crossing Seattle Slew with Cure the Blues. French Deputy and Cure the Blues both have 2nd dams by Bold Ruler. Thus, when they are crossed with Seattle Slew, or one of his sons, there is balanced inbreeding (through a son and a daughter) to Bold Ruler. The Cure the Blues/Seattle Slew cross has already resulted in American Chance (G2) and 1998 2-year-old Incurable Optimist, nine length winner of the Generous S. (G3).
