You can't take away his positives and I don't think there is anyone, breeders included who thought he was a super horse. But IF he were to have won a big race or 2 in the fall, his stud fee (since his value is immaterial being Coolmore owned) would have risen. And if he had lost a couple, it would still be where it will be.

Here's the difference... Lion Heart actually ran a few fast races in his career... Scat Daddy never did. I'd go to Lion Heart in a flash over Scat Daddy at the same price.
