Of course Nureyev wasn’t alone in setting such high standards. For example, the Blood-Horse Stallion Register for 1997 carried a table of leading sires by lifetime AEI, on which Nureyev ranked fourth with an AEI of 4.47. Ahead of him were Danzig, Seattle Slew and Mr. Prospector and fifth position was taken by Storm Cat.
