Knowing that the quality of mares impacts the performance of a sire, is there information that shows the quality of mares a sire sees? It seems obvious that higher priced sires see better quality mares than other sires. How would lower priced sires do seeing the same book of mares as higher priced sires. How would Not For Love perform if he saw A P Indy's book? How would Partners Hero(avg earner 58k) do with Point Givens(avg earner 62k) book? I breed to race so I believe there is tremendous value out there and I would like to find it.

The BloodHorse periodically posts stallions lists that give each stallion's Comparable Index and Average Earnings Index. I think maybe this sounds like what you're looking for? For an explanation of CI and AEI, see this article: http://cs.bloodhorse.com/blogs/scot/arc ... ex-ci.aspx

As for the list itself, you can probably find it with a search of the BloodHorse site.
