[Pedigree Ann]

I DID misread the post as sire, not sire of sires. However, for Bull Lea, I must plead special circumstances.

Bull Lea's sons included several high-profile runners who 'failed at stud', like Citation (although he did sire a Preakness winner and a champion, the filly Silver Spoon) but actually few of them stayed in the US. Coaltown was shipped to France for stud, Hill Gail went to Ireland and sired a classic winner, Iron Liege had subnormal fertility but sired SWs in France and Japan. Some were decent sires, like Bull Page in Canada, regional sires like Trentonian and Prophets Thumb. But looking through the list of Bull Lea's SWs I was surprised at the proportion of them that were fillies and geldings (like the great Armed). He didn't churn out the sire prospects the way Northern Dancer did; the Dancer also had his share of high-profile 'failures' (Viceregal, Lomond, Danzatore, Shareef Dancer, Secreto) but they were overshadowed by his many successes.
