Will Greater Good boost the stud fee of Intidab?

Will Intidab be a good short term investment? If Greater Good does well this year he could sure boost demand for this stallion. At $3500 I think he could boost the value of a mare bred to him. Imagine if Greater Good won the Kentucky Derby. War Emblem and Private Emblem sure increased interest in Our Emblem and he has seemed to cool off. Selling why in demand is the way to go. It also helped that Our Emblem was by Mr. Prospector and out of Personal Ensign. I remember last year when I bought my El Prado mare and I was hoping Borrego would do well in the Triple Crown races. I was also excited during the Breeder's Cup when Kitten's Joy and Artie Schiller were running. I like El Prado alot but Medaglia D'Oro and Kitten's Joy failed to win the big one like the Breeder's Cup Classic, Belmont S., Dubai World Cup, and the Breeder's Cup Turf. Winning the big ones sure increase demand. Look at Elusive Quality and how Smarty Jones really put him high in demand. El Prado has been a leading top 3 sire for the last 3 years and a horse like Awesome Again passes him in stud fee as his sons Wilko and Ghostzapper do well in the Breeder's Cup. El Prado has earned his stud fee. Intidab only has 6 foals in his 1st crop and sires Greater Good and two stakes placed horses. Why is it no one has bred mares to him early on in his career? His foals have not brought much in the sale ring either. I just think Intidab has done well with such a small foal crop.
