don't forget they also bred George Washington that same year... don't know how many mares they have, but that's not a bad top three.

I don't know how active they are at the sales, but I don't believe they've spent a ton of money on buying colts (I could be really wrong on that one..) I know they bought Precious Kitten and one or two other turf mares.
