it wasn't too long ago that i read that storm cat hadn't proven himself a sire of sires. that's not being said anymore.


and yes, kris s was outstanding as a sire, but hasn't had much luck in becoming a sire of sires....but to compare him to danzig is laughable. and danzig has produced both dirt and turf stars, sprinters to stayers...
that is your opinion and you're entitled to it...success is measured in the eye of the beholder....I think War Chant, Belong to Me and Boundary were all disappointing at stud relative to the mare books they recieved and how well they performed on the racetrack......just my opinion...look at War Chant....beuatifully bred and was a serious runner that had every chance to get a few stellar first crops with the book of mares he got, yet he relatively has had nothing special in my eyes...Also, look at the beautifully bred Dayjur, who was a freak of a racehorse and couldn't sire a $30K claimer.....you see where I'm going with this...it is just my opinion, man....
