As they say: “Lies, Lies and Damn Statistics”. When you cut through the froth and bubble of the marketing crews associated with various entities within the thoroughbred breeding industry, no matter the hype and no matter their budget, facts always boil down to the numbers.
You can’t deny the mathematics, they prove the point. It’s the results that count.
Such is the case with Leading Sires. In particular there seems to always be a lot of hype, a lot of myths, superstitions and spin about who’s got the Best of the Best.
Fact’s speak for themselves.
The market knows that FASTNET ROCK is a Champion Sire. The marketing and hype highlight that. But just how good is he ?
