he's early in the cycle, but not looking good (surprisingly)

from what I read - G Glam as a BM sire

640 foals
342 starters
31% winners
only 3 Swinners - less than 1 %

Broodmare AEI - less than 1 - 0.91

Not looking good so far in my opinion. Could change with a couple of big ones though.

Run the race - the one that's really worth winning.

Thanks, Joltman! Was offered a 3 y.o. by Bold Executive out of a Grand Slam mare. Needed some input.

he's still very early on as a bm sire though. Some of his best may not have hit the breeding shed yet.

you don't know about bm sires sometimes for 15 years or more til they get enough horses out there with enough different crosses to see if anything works.
