Bettors Delight, Art Major, Mach Three and Christian Cullen.
No surprises there Jaimie, the best 4 stallions in this part of the world over the last few years - all very good.
Bettors Delight in my opinion is an out and out superstar stallion with CC right up alongside him.
Their dam sires make for interesting reading too, if only because it seems to reveal absolutely nothing.

Where are the older Art Majors???
Strong form with Bettors Delight having 9x 4yos.
Bettors Delight is doing a super job producing winner's everywhere, number's on the ground also helps his case.
Not sure Breno. Sushi Sushi would have been there and would probably have won it only that he got sore. Bettor's Delight is leaving a gritty, sound, genuine Cam Fella/Cam's Card Shark attribute in his stock. From 2yrs through to Aged, they show up week in, week out, ready to race & to give of their best on the day. I think that's the main reason why so many of them race on into the aged ranks.
So what does everyone think about Roll With Joe's siring prospects ?
John Peck made an interesting comment in his HRI magazine,
"Plenty of discussion about who was the better horse, however, something missing from most discussions is the quality of the opposition.
The 1998 crop that Bettor's Delight belonged to produced only eight 1:52 2YOlds (Bettor's Delight was not one), the fastest being Real Desire 2,1:50.8 while the 2008 crop that Roll With Joe belonged to produced 29 1:52 2YOlds including three in 1:50.
Even when one looks at the horses that finished in the placings in the five big ones that Bettor's Delight competed in - Real Desire, Klingon Hanover, Hawaiian Cowboy, Horselaughter, Four Starzzz Shark, Lotsa Clout, Bagel Beach Boy - there is fair argument to suggest that they were not as good as Roll With Joe's opposition."
