Can't think of any stallion unraced as successful as Alibhai but a regional sire, Bold Badgett, was quite useful with numerous stakes winners in California. Believe he was a full to Desert Wine and a half to Excavate and Menifee.

I think you need to define what you mean by "GREAT" before anyone can offer suggestions that meet your criteria.

Godolphin Arabian :wink:

Don't know his age, but King of the Wind by Margeurite Henry is a good mature tween/early teen read.

Great

Excellent question. As a base line, I would expect a Grade 1 winner(s) and maybe a Champion.

How about Ultimus by Commando. He sure shows up in a lot of pedigrees.
