you said it Balletto. Pleasant Tap doesn't sell for real high prices because he doesn't have the hype, the PR the high priced stallions have...

But you must remember that because PT stands for $10k the breeders can still make a profit if his foals sell for less than those charging a 6 figure stud fee. Of course, the more popular PT becomes the higher the fee. He did breed to 91 mares in '05.

i like pleasant tap, but as was said here, most of his #1 spot is earned from one purse. i'd rather see a horse at or near the top who doesn't have one huge earner.....

oh, just turned to the most recent list, red ransom is now #1, tap to #2.

i'm more impressed (going down the list) by maria's mon, stands for 25k, derby sire who is currently #6 overall....3.9 mill, wait a while is his leading earner w/ 790k. or thunder gulch, also 25k...his leading earner is balance, w/ 387k.
