Stupid breeding question

She goes to the shed and produces another precocious, top-level two/three year old.

Does Lewis Michael, by default, become a sought after stallion? Obviously, he's generally always overmatched in graded races, but is not a completely useless horse by any stretch. If his full sister becomes a good producer, does he generally get perceived as a good pedigree starting point?

Not only is Lewis Michael a full sibling to (soon to be) champion 2-year-old filly Dreaming of Anna.

But, he comes from a multiple turf stakes winning dam who's kin to champion turf horse Kitten's Joy.

Lewish Micheal's 2nd dam is also kin to Down the Aisle, who was a millionaire turf specialist, and won a Grade 1 race at age 7.

His 3rd dam is also kin to a Mother Goose winner.

His overall pedigree will obviously enhance his value as a stallion prospect. However, I'd only seen him being sought after by some breeder looking for a young stallion in the lower-middle price range, that might have the potential to throw a good grass miler...and wouldn't figure to be a liability as a dirt sire.
