Very interesting list. I don't think you need to win in order to turn a profit, looking at the stud fees for the more durable sires, looks like you could quickly turn a profit. String together a good number of place and show finshes and you are quietly collecting and depositing cash.
If I were in a position to designate the breeding for "my" horse, I would go for durability over precociousness; it seems for others that ego trumps profitablity/durability.
