Champions Who Failed As Stallions

Timber COuntry has sired a lot of good horses oversea's.

Not very impressed Bold!

Out of nearly 70 horses on the list ... you cite 9 of them as possible exceptions ... yet none of the ones you cite ... without mentioning the 60 others ... has come close to establishing a successful male line ... although it's remotely possible with Bertrando if Officer becomes a success as a stallion ... or has produced a long string of graded stakes winners.

None of their names will likely appear as the male progenitor of future champions.
