However, the point is that GRADE 1 winning turf stallions are MORE VALUABLE than geldings without grade 1's.
Got anything interesting to add?

Trippi has been an OK Florida based stallion. I believe he ran for Robsham if anyone ever wanted a son of Trippi to stand and succeeed it would be Robsham right? So my point is it's hard enough to book Trippi now you want want Robsham to try and make a son of Trippi who was OK on the turf with an average pedigree. I know the guy is super wealthy but have a heart. How many mares does this guy have to buy to give a Trippi's Storm a realistic shot. So I guess cutting the guy and having a nice turfer made more sense then hoping and investing in making him a legit stallion.
BTW his only value was as a racehorse that Hough and Robsham used to flatter Trippi Period
