The downfall of stamina definitely coincided with the BC era but that was also the glut in the stallion market right?
When I think, "home run horse", I think of a horse that wins on the track. I am wrong.

In this weeks issue of Blood-Horse:

"Forestry - Home Run Sire"

"The long-ball home run in the Thoroughbred business is the Stallion Prospect. Two of the hottest Sire Prospects on the horizon, who cumulatively stand to generate over $5 Million in income this next year alone, are by Storm Cat's sensationally consistent home run son Forestry."

The home run in the TB business is not an exceptional race horse, not even a proven stallion - it is a stallion "prospect".
