Especially when you look at the mares who have been throwing them. Its not like they are bad mares, but when you get one like Graeme Hall who has a limited buzz who gets really nice horses in his first crop, who wasn't sent to grade one producers, you can be pretty sure that folks who went to him in his 2nd 3rd years are on cloud 9 right now.
Those babies are gonna fetch a lot more than they paid for his stud fee.

BTW and I were talking about old geldings the other day, and Graeme Hall's name came up about a race that Mike will recall too... Opening weekend at Saratoga 1999, I fell in love with a Hal Wiggins' trained 2 year old named Perfect Sleeper who came like a bullet in a MSW race to be third. He chipped a knee in that race and was never the same, but I've followed him since and he was still running at 9 at Fairmount Park as of the spring. Second in that race was Sykes Alive, who is still running at Philly Park... The winner of that race was Graeme Hall!

I remember it very well.
The funny thing about that race was that when Sykes Alive ran back(I know D Wayne trained him at the time, and I believe that Cloverleaf owned him), he should have been 3-5, but everyone went goo-goo over some first time starter and made him favored instead. Sykes crushed him, and after the race D Wayne made a quote that I still remember that day, he was speaking to reporters/handicappers after the race who had all touted the firster and said " I think you guys are drinking too much coffee or something!!""

That sounds like something D. Wayne would say!

Graeme Hall is currently 8th on the freshamn sire list(based on progeny earnings) but a truer indication of his potency so far would be based on his starters per winners statistic. Hes had 20 starters and 13 winners. Thats the highest on the list perecentage wise by far. He also only had 66 two year olds as compared to leading freshman sire Johannesburg(187 two year olds!! He gets more ass than a porn star)!
