It really doesn't count for anything, nor should it. If we are going to engage in the sort of analysis that you suggest, do we lessen the racing accomplishments of horses like Alysheba, Risen Star and Skip Away because they were not standouts in the breeding shed? Are Danzig and Malibu Moon the greatest "what ifs" because they became successful sires?
