I like Aptitude. He might not be the next "great sire" because I'm not sure how versitile his progeny will be, but I love his chances to be a great classic-race sire. His own pedigree (by AP Indy - out of a Northern Dancer mare), and his success at classic distances (remember his romp in the JCGC!) make me think he will produce a lot of horses that love to run beyond 9f on the dirt.
I think Steppenwolfer may be the first of several Aptitude colts that are factors on the TC trail, and if he stays healthy I bet Steppenwolfer has a nice career in the handicap division just like his old man.
