indian charlie has been a phenom at stud, considering the incredible lack of quality he's gotten in the mares sent to him.
at least 75% of the mares sent to him in his first 3 crops were either unraced or never won a race. very few stallions have moved up mares (according to that index number that is used for that purpose) as well as IC has.
interestingly enough, the last time i really looked into stallions that dramatically moved up their mares, distorted humor blew away everyone, by a large margin.
another baffert runner that's making a good name for himself is vindication. it's still early though, so who knows.
real quiet, as previously mentioned, gets the occasional really nice runner.
el corredor has been useful!
