It's really mind boggling. The drop-off has been sudden and dramatic, especially given how his stud fee doubled in just over one year's time.

that could be an issue, too.
typically horses fees drop off after the first year or two, while other horses hit the scene, and to keep people coming to your horse who isn't 'new' anymore, but hasn't got anything on the track yet either to judge ability by. and as the best mares go elsewhere, is he suffering from not getting the pick of the litter anymore?
