I'll Have Another's value as a stallion if he sweeps the Triple Crown

It's a nice cheap distance pedigree.

However, it's not a desirable pedigree for a stallion like the sensational ones that Bode and Creative Cause have.



The dam was 1-for-1 and the 2nd dam was a useful horse who finished up at Fort Erie.

The last seven who came to the Belmont with a shot at the Triple Crown (Big Brown, Smarty Jones, Funny Cide, War Emblem, Charismatic, Real Quiet, Silver Charm) -- obviously FC was a gelding and Big Brown first crop are only 2yos -- but the other five make a pretty shabby collection of stallions.

I'd have to think Bode and Creative Cause would have a ton more appeal regardless of what happens in the Belmont.

Flower Alley stands for $7,500 right now. How much bump might he get from being the first to sire a triple crown winner in 34 years?
