Not at all!!
Old Trieste was doing very well before dying at a young age.
Real Quiet, while not a resounding success, has sired a few good horses while getting a crappy book of mares.
Grand Slam has done pretty decently.
All four of those have sired BC winners, btw.
I think that crop has been much better at stud than the previous year. The only sire from that crop that's done anything is Awesome Again.
