I guess we can agree to disagree on Northern Afleet as a sire. To my way of thinking, if he's on the top 100 sire list given the opportunities that he's had, I have a hard time calling him "weak."

As for Skip Away, he's never had a horse of significance, his AEI (1.32) is below his CI (1.43), and his yearlings and 2YOs sell for next to nothing, so I fail to see how "his numbers are better than" Northern Afleet.
