This is a great discussion though as both are sixth-crop sires and it makes for a really good comparison.

as of 5/12/08 from equineline

Statistical summary for the registered progeny of Northern Afleet:

8 crops
571 foals
7 crops of racing age
493 foals of racing age
131 current 2 year old foals
78 yearlings
0 weanlings

In North America / USA, Australia, Canada, England, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy,
Japan, UAE, and all other available foreign data:

1 champions
3 graded stakes winners
16 stakes winners
13 stakes placers



I suppose that you could say from 493 potential starters

Fair enough.

He's only had 3 graded stakes winners?!?

Skip Away has one more graded stakes winner (4), and only three more stakes winners despite getting better mares at the start of his career.

Based on the attention brought from Afleet Alex (and a few others such as G P Fleet, Saint Afleet, and all those Wynn horses), Northern Afleet has received the chance (getting $10,000 to $20,000 mares in KY) over the past few years that Skip Away got immediately when he retired from the track. If you're right, he'll become the new Our Emblem. Time will tell.

Being marginally better than Skip Away (maybe) is not exactly a ringing endorsement. How many times have you seen a cheap mare bred to bad sires who produces a couple of stakes horses suddenly gets a huge upgrade in stallions and doesnt do anything?

You got a bunch of NA's?
