There is a great deal of expectation for Vindication and of all these I think that he should produce the best 2 yo runners as most of the horses on your list dont seem to be early running sire types.

Agree with comments on Hold That Tiger. Loved him in that years BC JUvenile after that scintilating stretch run race before in Europe and with his breeding thought he would take to AMerican dirt extremely well. Effort was Ok but I recall he had some gate issues and a questionable ride by Kinane if I remember correctly. Was thrilled when they brought him back for Fall of next season and again took a shot on him in that years Classic.
Think you are right on, as he will be a bit overlooked but think he will prove quite a successful sire
