This is a great discussion though as both are sixth-crop sires and it makes for a really good comparison.

Statistical summary for the registered progeny of Northern Afleet:

In North America / USA, Australia, Canada, England, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy,
Japan, UAE, and all other available foreign data:

I suppose that you could say from 493 potential starters
