Birdstone offspring

With Birdstone standing free to approved mares, what do you think that will do to his offspring's sale values over the next few years?

free to mares who have black type earnings in the first 2 generations.

Should only increase the value of potential offspring get him a better book.

He did something Storm Cat never did - sire a Derby winner.
Danzig
War Front

I find him very underrated. Compared to other sires at that price he is a steal. Is it because he is small that he hasn't had much action? I know the Unbridled-Fappiano line is hot, but I guess this branch (Grindstone) isn't as fashionable.
He has some nice offspring, not including Summer Bird and Mine That Bird.... Birdrun was a good one; Thank You Marylou is a very nice filly; Florida Won, is an improving colt; Conquest Titan is solid.

underrated indeed, as a racehorse and a sire.
