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.
When he finally sires something better than Lennyfromalibu wake me.

The dam of Lethal Heat earned over 300K and ran a 97 Beyer a few times.

He's bound to start getting a lot better mares ... we will see if that better book and larger foal crop leads to an actual good horse.
