X Factor – Term that geneticists use to describe the female X chromosome, which is attributed with creating the large hearts found in outstanding racehorses.
Heart score – Term coined by Australian researcher Dr. James Steel to communicate his findings of the heart size on the electrocardiogram, which was gained by a correlation of heart weight, stroke volume, cardiac output and aerobic power.
Double copy – Describes the ideal broodmare, which has the large heart on both X chromosomes. If the mare is bred to a large-hearted sire, she always will produce large-hearted foals. Her daughters also will be double copy mares. Double copy mares frequently produce all winners.

Secretariat as a stallion / Broodmare sire – and the X Y Chromosomes
Big hearts can equal more money
Though his blood flows through other notable racehorses -X Y Chromosomes -including (especially) 2004 Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner Smarty Jones, Secretariat turned out to be a noted broodmare sire.
so , if you have a good stallion , his power will not be seen from his offspring foals , but rather from ones of its broodmares that he was assigned to?
There has been some criticism of Secretariat as a stallion, due in part to his perceived inability to produce offspring of his same caliber. His expensive syndication deal, perhaps, raised unrealistic expectations. Ultimately, he sired as many as 600 foals during his retirement.
