I can assure you I know more about breeding than you do. Dr. Fager a miler? That is hilarious. I guess Secretariat was a miler too. LOL

I would never argue handicapping, but when it comes to pedigrees and breeding I know my stuff. Have to or I would be out of a job.

In Excess and Honour and Glory are SOLID SOLID producers, both get at least 1 Grade 1 winner a year (this is not a fact, assumed but a solid assumption)

Again, the horses that excel the flat mile route, will be the ones people go to in the breeding shed for the future. You heard it here first!

Like who, Yankee Victor? Name the horses that excel at a mile over the last 5 years that will be great sires. GZ is not a miler either. Never was.

Can't remember if he's still alive but Our Emblem and not to forget War Chant. Both great sires of turf and dirt.

Our Emblem might have an affect on Brazilian racing but not American. War Chant is too young to evaluate but I am not thrilled with him unless you are a Danzig guy. 60K is too much for what he is producing. I guess Brilliant isn't too shabby, but nothing else really impresses me.

In Excess and H&G have produced very little. H&G is a $12,500 sire and always will be.
