I believe Northern Dancer should be on that list, 2 of his sons and 2 of his grandson's made the list, his more recent sires with his blood are Danehill, El Prado and Deputy Minister. However if he isn't I'd vote for Sadler's Wells as my second choice.

Voted for Mr. Prospector, would've been for Slew but he wasn't an option.

Storm Cat. I do not believe any other stallion stood for 500K.

produced the most G1 winners
produced the most money earned
produced the fastest single horse
produced the most son's to be successsful as Stallions

For my money it's Mr. P and Sunday Silience but how do you go wrong with Cozar
