Already a proven stallion?

[Merlinsky]

I just wanted to know if I heard what I thought I heard. I was listening to the HRRN coverage waiting for NTRA Live to kick in at 5pm. During the ads there was one for Gainesway in which it seems like they call Afleet Express a proven stallion because he got 2 mares pregnant. Kevin Federline got some women pregnant too. One of those kids may get him a cup that says "#1 Dad" but that is a bit of an exaggeration. Call me old fashioned, but I'd like to wait for the foals to be born before I make any judgments.

Proven might be different things to different people. I'm hoping I misunderstood. 'He's got sperm that work!' Uh, yay? Top yearlings and Derby winners here we come.
