Mental attitude is as important as physical talents, and CQ was such a nut-case himself that it shouldn't have surprised that he passed it on.

The ones that I had were just slow.

I think Coronado's Quest is a sleeper broodmare sire. He may not have the number in the long run to get to the top of the list, but they are some of the best bred mares out there. And yes most were quite slow.

The Bid wasn't much of a sire of sires, but some decent mares came about because of him.

Cajun, for the kind of horse he was, he was a disappointment...And there is no bigger fan of the Bid than me.

Affirmed wasn't the sire Alydar was either and part of that is my belief that Affirmed was a bit "hopped up" for his races.

That is so bogus of a reason. Storm Cat and Mr. Prospector were neither of them the best of their generation; neither was a champion at any point of their careers. Storm Cat's contemporaries Tasso, Broad Brush, Ferdinand, and Personal Flag all accomplished more on the racetrack than he did. Mr. P was a very minor member of the same generation as Secretariat, Sham, and Forego. The best runners quite often don't make the best sires.
