Not certain what this means, but the 'elite' mares he received were, many of them, the wrong mares for this particular stallion. Just as Winning Colors was sent to stallions who made the most economic sense rather than to the stallions that would suit her best (and may have been totally non-commercial). An example - After Cee's Song produced 4 SWs including a Horse of the Year with Cee's Tizzy, proving this is a dynamite cross, a genetic goldmine, her owners' heirs sent her to Storm Cat repreatedly and got 2 minor winners, one SP, and one unraced. By most measures Storm Cat is a better stallion than Cee's Tizzy, BUT not for this particular mare.
