favorite sire ever. oh boy, let me think....

northern dancer was a bundle of dynamite in a small package. sired a lot of good horses, and back when books weren't like they are now. an incredible horse, a great sire, a huge influence worldwide.

honorable mention would go to slew and danzig, as well as sunday silence, who stamped the entire racing community in his adopted country. he did for japan what the dancer accomplished in north america and europe, and danehill in australia.

Welcome Kyle...

My favorite stallion would probably be Quiet American. Can get you a foal who can handle any surface... they tend to like some distance but can compete in the shorter races. Carries multiples of strong females and is intensely inbred which is a good reason why his daughters are producing so well.

My favorite "under the radar" stallion is Northern Spur. LOVE him! Amazing family and improves horrible mares. Look at his numbers... just great.

O yes Quiet American. the next great, and i mean GREAT, mare sire. Get a filly out of a Quiet American mare at 3 or 4 and watch out. Like you said any distance any surface be careful it could very well run off from the group.

Dellinger,
One of my favorites. Made some nice scores with those Diane and Peter
Perkins homebreds by Lord At War. They run on any surface. His son in
Penn. Patton has sired some decent horse that run on all surfaces
