Honestly, the majority of stallions, even champion level runners, don't turn out to be A.P. Indy or Mr. P (who was, by the way, not a champion on the track-he wasn't even a graded SW). He may be, like Point Given and Turkoman and Black Tie Affair and Affirmed, too much of a stayer to sire the kind of runner that the market wants today - hot 2yo, miler who can stretch to 9f at 3; retire to stud and make more of the same.

I guess Stormy Atlantic won the gluttony of mares bred title this year with 199 .

well, no joke. i just tire of jacksons talk about how we need curlin in the gene pool. i don't see him as being anything terribly special.
but then, i tire of much of jackson trash talk.
