Biggest U.S. stallion bargains

Who do you think provides the best ROI relative to stud fee? Considering how many quality NYBs he's thrown, I think Freud at $6,500 is like stealing.

ROI in terms of what? He is a good regional sire but his purse numbers are of course inflated since most of it is earned in restricted company. Outside of Fanny Freud has he ever sired a really good horse?

I'm not talking about throwing superstars, I'm talking about earning the most money on the track relative to stud fee. Seems like Freud has a new NYB stakes favorite every week.

He is clearly the best of the NY stallions. His fee is low because his babies aren't commercially attractive and he has become a strictly breed to run sire. Which isn't a knock. But he is a good NY stallion relative to the usual NY stallion.

Do you know who he is a half to? Do you think it means anything?

Afleet Alex at 15k looks like a decent deal. Of course, I could imagine his fee is going to go up.

Following in Birdstones footsteps. Remember last year when people actually thought Birdstone was a good sire? To be fair AA looks like he has a little more depth to his crop and might be a lot more legit. I would guess his fee will go to 35k. Birdstone may stand for 5k next year.

I agree about the depth, at least AA has had sprint winners, route winners, turf winners, etc. This year's results for Birdstone are absolutely frightening. His 2 best performing horses have of course been Summer Bird and Mine That Bird, you know who's 3rd on the list? Stone Legacy, who has career earnings just over 200k.
