That's a good point, everyone puts a lot of emphasis on the stallion, but mares really do have more to do w/the outcome than the stallion does. A good mare will do well regardless of who she goes to. Dear Birdie for example has 11 winners from 11 foals of racing age, she has only visited the same stallion on one occasion (Proper Reality).
