Obviously he's had some nice horses -- but nothing to justify his reputation. He got the first Zenyatta foal and the second Rachel Alexandra foal (after stablemate Curlin) He's had an unbelievable book of mares.
I could not agree more, and have always felt he was overrated (especially as a stallion).

They are flashy but seem to usually not develop.
