At his two stud farms in France, Boussac breeds top race horses by mating successful stallions (like Tourbillon) with proven brood mares (like Astronomie). He has also tried some daring experiments in inbreeding. One was to mate a full brother and sister. The result was Coronation, one of the meanest-tempered horses ever to kick a groom, but winner of last year's Prix de l'Arc-de-Triomphe...
