A G1 winner with a Kee select sale pedigree can clear a heck of a lot of money before anyone can tell whether his progeny can run or not - 4 seasons of, say, 100 mares at $50K for 4 years is a couple million $. And you don't even have to worry about raising the foals to saleable age. I'd rather have a good mare, too, but in the business side of breeding, a stallion can earn you more money more quickly as a stud horse than as a racehorse, while a top mare can earn more money more quickly as a racemare than as a broodmare.
