Biggest Stallion With No Pedigree?

[Danzig]

no way storm cat fits this billing. starting at 25k about 20 years ago was no mean feat. and the breeding most definitely is there.

seattle slew didn't have the 'right side of the track' pedigree, but it wasn't that bad either. he was syndicated for a huge fee, and is one of the few to back it up. just knowing the syndication value would make you realize he was not considered a bad prospect.

spectacular bid for example was a dismal failure. seth han**** said in retrospect he'd never have put that deal together, as the horses breeding wasn't that good, and you almost never see a stallion with poor breeding do well.

top stallion w/out the breeding? gotta be the one and only northern dancer, who was almost gelded. by a relatively unknown stallion, first foal from his mare....bred in canada. only his dams sire would be easily recognizable by the casual fan. became the most influential sire world wide....
