Based on the attention brought from Afleet Alex (and a few others such as G P Fleet, Saint Afleet, and all those Wynn horses), Northern Afleet has received the chance (getting $10,000 to $20,000 mares in KY) over the past few years that Skip Away got immediately when he retired from the track. If you're right, he'll become the new Our Emblem. Time will tell.

Being marginally better than Skip Away (maybe) is not exactly a ringing endorsement. How many times have you seen a cheap mare bred to bad sires who produces a couple of stakes horses suddenly gets a huge upgrade in stallions and doesnt do anything?
You got a bunch of NA's?
