I agree - I wonder what other ones make the list ?  He's a clear number 1 unless I'm forgetting some..

Most forget to look at the material side of pedigrees and Norman Hall breaks down why Quillo as she was packed with maternal potential. Her first three foals with Kadabra the third did really well on the track. 9 of 12 foals raced with marks and money. Too bad four of the mares died to early to bred on. Quillo was a double copy mare and in the end when trotting blood needed something that once was called the pedigree from hell, would go on and breed as a trotting out cross. RIP big fella.
