ROI in terms of what? He is a good regional sire but his purse numbers are of course inflated since most of it is earned in restricted company. Outside of Fanny Freud has he ever sired a really good horse?

I'm not talking about throwing superstars, I'm talking about earning the most money on the track relative to stud fee. Seems like Freud has a new NYB stakes favorite every week.

He is clearly the best of the NY stallions. His fee is low because his babies aren't commercially attractive and he has become a strictly breed to run sire. Which isn't a knock. But he is a good NY stallion relative to the usual NY stallion.
