LINE BREEDING & INBREEDING OPPORTUNITIES
General Beau traces (on the female line) to tap root mare Darley Arabian Mare (GB) 17-- so introducing ancestors that share the same lineage is desirable such as Star Kingdom, Toronado, Kenmare, Savabeel, Rory’s Jester, More Than Ready, High Chaparral, Per Incanto, Street Boss, Shamardal, All Too Hard and Magnus. With the Darley Arabian Mare being the prevalent female line in Australasia, finding mares that suit the genetic profile of General Beau should not be a difficult task.
There are many options to create inbreeding or line breeding duplications to elite female and male ancestors (as per the below).

Comments
From a genetic perspective, there looks plenty of upside for mare owners to get an early return from a stallion that proved himself as a precocious, fast and high-quality racehorse.
