plus a mare won't have 100+ foals per year...if she su cks she'll weed herself out of the herd after a couple of foals...if the stud su cks well then there are that many more surpluss foals...
And IMHO I think the fact that a lot of super running mares can't come close to reproducing themselves shows you which mares had some extra vet help.
