Most disappointing Sires

[The Indomitable DrugS]

Who is the one sire that you felt strongly might do well at stud, only to later watch them become a complete bust?

On that note, I guess I could mention Precisionist as well.

Some pretty good stallions over the years have had attitudes.

I also thought CQ would make a much better stallion than he did. He certainly had a nice pedigree, his dam was a half to beaten Derby Favorite Private Terms among others, and his 2nd dam was a Bold Ruler half sibling to the great Ruffian.

CQ had speed, could carry it a classic distance, and was an excellent 2yo.

Had a friend who worked at Padua's training center with the youngsters and her opinion was that the Coronado's Quests were just plain nuts. "And good riddance" was her remark after it was announced he'd been sold overseas. Mental attitude is as important as physical talents, and CQ was such a nut-case himself that it shouldn't have surprised that he passed it on.

The ones that I had were just slow.

I think Coronado's Quest is a sleeper broodmare sire. He may not have the number in the long run to get to the top of the list, but they are some of the best bred mares out there. And yes most were quite slow.

Recently---Cigar comes to mind.
