Here are all the ungelded males with 10 or more Grade 1 wins:
Spectacular Bid - 14 Grade 1 wins
Affirmed - 14 Grade 1 wins
Cigar - 11 Grade 1 wins
Skip Away - 10 Grade 1 wins
Spectacular Bid was syndicated for a then-record $22 million. Skip Away was syndicated for $18. Affirmed was syndicated for $14.4 million. Cigar was reportedly going to be syndicated for a record $75 million by Coolmore.
Skip Away and Spectacular Bid sired a bunch of complete goats. Cigar shot blanks. The breeding shed was the only place where Affirmed couldn't compete with Alydar.
