Wanna know why? Because he's not a tremendous sire.

He's certainly a tremendous sire of Cal Bred turf and synthetic horses. And I will give you that he does move up his mares. Yippee.
Well by that measure there are only 2 American sires who are any good.

Any person with reasonable judgement and cognitive skills would understand given his circumstances and the ones of the horses listed above that he wouldnt have to produce international grade 1 winners to be considered a tremendous sire. The fact that his foal crops are minute in comparison to the others:
15
29
26
22
63
68
79
61

and that his best mares wouldn't even be accepted to most of the others makes most people understand the magnitude of what he has done and how good a sire he has to be in order to produce the way he has. The fact that virtually every mare he has bred has produced their best foal when matched with him means a lot. The fact that virtually every mare sent to him is a breed to race mare, leaving him with a minute % of black type mares to produce from means a lot.
