There have been several recent Derby winners who have not been particularly attractive stallion candidates. In recent history, more Belmont winners have emerged as significant sires than Derby winners. Also, a win in one of the other Classics can help enhance the reputation of a stallion they already own. As crazy as this sounds today, two years ago, Da' Tara's victory in the Belmont did a lot to enhance the reputation of Tiznow, a WinStar stallion.
