Affirmed wasn't the sire Alydar was either and part of that is my belief that Affirmed was a bit "hopped up" for his races.
That is so bogus of a reason. Storm Cat and Mr. Prospector were neither of them the best of their generation; neither was a champion at any point of their careers. Storm Cat's contemporaries Tasso, Broad Brush, Ferdinand, and Personal Flag all accomplished more on the racetrack than he did. Mr. P was a very minor member of the same generation as Secretariat, Sham, and Forego. The best runners quite often don't make the best sires.
