The Eclipse Award for Outstanding 3-Yr-Old Male Horse = BARBARO

almost zero? i don't know that i would put it that low. about 8 in 10 stallions 'fail' as a sire. i don't know that barbaros odds would be better or worse due to his injury.
he'll get the best of care. if he can physically cover, he'll get the best mares. won't be a big book--but then, a lot of our all time best sires, horses like bold ruler and northern dancer, usually didn't even cover 50--but he'll get a GOOD book. they can give him a lot of help as far as actually doing 'the deed'....
