It is also a big difference in that even if Dreaming of Anna herself had never won a race, the relatively minor exploits of Lewis Michael would have enabled her to get a breeding season to nice 2nd or 3rd tier stallions in Kentucky, the fact she has become a multiple stakes winner, especially a Grade 1 stakes winner has opened her up to the most elite of the Stallions, ie Stoem Cat etc.. however, her explots on the track will not merit Lewis Michael anywhere near the caliber of elite mares to breed. He's strictly on his own as far as mare owners are concerned.
