Risen Star ... Rhythm ... Blushing John ... Steinlen ...Fly So Free ... Criminal Type ... Housebuster ... Arazi ... Hansel ... Black Tie Affair ... Gilded Time ... Pleasant Tap ... Rubiano ... Dehere ... Bertrando ... Timber Country ... Holy Bull ... Cigar ... Skip Away ... Lit De Justice ... Favorite Trick ... Silver Charm ... Free House ... Answer Lively ... Real Quiet ... Victory Gallop ... Artax ...

Can anyone out there add a few more ... to help educate one of our eager and deserving young friends?
how the hell are Affirmed, Easy Goer, Pleasant Tap, Rubiano, Dehere, Holy Bull, Free house, Real Quiet and Victory Gallop failures at stud?

I have no problem betting a VGallop horse. his offspring may not look like much, but he gets runners.
I dont have the numbers in front of me, but he produces winners at every level.
