Four lifetime starts, which includes two Grade 1 wins is enough to be close to securing a big stallion deal for the Kentucky Derby champion.

What a game...
To the victors go the spoils.
It's getting old.
You just can't get excited about the future prospects of a Derby winner. Maybe get excited about Denis of Cork, or Recapturetheglory, or Tale of Ekati...but not the big winner, because almost always (at least now), winning this race is a ticket to the breeding shed which isn't far off. Think about it - if Curlin had won the Derby last year, would he have ever gone to Dubai?
What is really ironic is that Derby winners seldom become top sires. Let's hear it for:
Strike the Gold
Sea Hero
Lil E. Tee
Go For Gin
Thunder Gulch
Grindstone
Silver Charm
Real Quiet
Fusaichi Pegasus
Monarchos
War Emblem
You've never seen a live 2-year-old at Saratoga by War Emblem out of a Lil E. Tee mare?

That should be your next story. And frankly, that's the problem with the early stud purchasers.
