His AEI and CI's are skewed by the fact he stood in FL where many mares havent earned a lot of money, especially in relation to slot fueled purses elsewhere, but are still solid producers. I dont think he got much for mares in KY except the older or cheaper ones. Unfortunately for me I have 3 coming next year for a client unless a miracle happens and he can sell them. I guess I may be biased but after 7 crops I would like to see a whole lot more. It wasnt like he was standing in Wyoming.
I know Skip Away probably had better mares to start out but his numbers are better than NA, and personally I think SC is a better sire also. Beherns, notsomuch

Chuck go look at the book NA was bred to like 6 years ago..I swear some of them weren't TB's.. I reviewed his entire book once Afleet Alex started to emerge and I didn't see a single quality mare out of the 40 to 50 he had been bred to.. I think you have to wait and see what happens now that he has some sponsorship.
