Hi Jusdoit
Your correct and if a stallion can't make it at those studs he will never make it anywhere, i know a few people that have had progeny by Artesian and they class them a little on the weak side. And Jorg Is Best looked to have the goods before his untimely death as an early 3yr old and the mare he was out of Intoxicating was a very handy mare from a strong family.

Hi Trotpace
Even though he didn't get the top run of mare's he should still of done a better job than what his stats show. There has been lesser stallions than Artesian who got below average mare's but still put the runs on the board better than him.
