It is very difficult for a stallion with three crops to rank real high on the general sire list, especially one like SM who's 2 yos dont do much running early in the year.

That's fair....I guess I have been hard on him. I apologize for being so snippy as I hate getting into arguments on message boards, but just know that my original post was made in all sincerity. I'm perfectly willing to be proven wrong about something........and it looks like I have.
