The Green Monkey is by Forestry, who is by Storm Cat.

Not to mention, even if he had been by Storm Cat, Storm Cat's fee couldn't get much higher than it already is! LMAO

So why is A.P. Indy still at $300,000, while Storm Cat is still at $500,000? Isn't A.P. Indy the leader in America?

ap indy leads the general sires list...of course storm cat is either top, or close to the top, for i don't know how many years now....i'd have to look it up to see where ap indy has finished in years past.

but i think storm cat has a lot more appeal commercially than ap indy has had...also, take note that storm cat is currently #15 on the list of leading sire of 2 yo's, and has the most winners, and the most stakes winners on that list, while ap indy is FAR down the list, #45.

Good catch and my bad. The horse I had in my head was actually Mr. Sekiguchi.
