Do you think Blame will be a great stallion?

seriously? you take out two consistently good stallions and then ask that? wow. yeah, if you take all the good out of anything, the comparison then becomes lame, doesn't it?

yes, commercial breeders have bypassed this farm due to sheer numbers. not sure what that has to do with whether blame will be a success. claiborne knows their job, and knows how to support a stallion. i don't think it's them causing claiborne problems, i think it's their fellow horsemen and women who have run past them and some good horses for a more commercially viable horse.
blame, any stallion, is bucking the odds. hard to say if he'll be a success or not. or any new lane's end or three chimneys stallion for that matter. look at smarty...ghostzapper. two started at six figure studs that have done much of nothing thus far.

His book of mares through Claiborne will allow him a chance to be good, but how many "great" stallions are there? I'd rather have one from Arch than Blame today.
