And the article is very informative. Probably really interesting discussing the next big stallion or farm...

What's the diffrence between a direct parasite and an indirect parasite?

As far as blending, I DO know that bad things happen when you add water to good scotch whisley.

Trainers, auction houses, etc... who dupe owners (indirect).
Breeder directly to owner, not as frequent (direct).

Or agent for owner who acts in breeders interest (indirect).

Cool, I'm making my own little groupings.
