Actually, I agree with you - Roman stole Varola's work and coasted on it for a few years but seems to have lost interest. But I wouldn't call Buckaroo or Apalachee horrible stallions, either.
Varola was smart enough not to name any living stallions as chefs-de-race in his listings. Or at least none that hadn't had a full career already. Naming horses chefs mid-career has hazards.
