Actually, the telling difference is MK ran 9 times as a three year old and won 7 times at three, including the Nz and Australian derby....,an imposing record against the very best ...
And carried on at four to win a feature G1 to make it 2 group ones in AU.
Mongolian khan went out at a very respectable $10k, $15k not out of the ball park but anything above would be. I'd have him at value at $12,500 to fit a market - he'd need to be careful at $15k plus given other more proven stallions at $15.
Some mares leave good horses by anything...
Egyptian Queen by Karoi lad (sp) produced three million dollar earners (one might be in $HK I think) by three differ stallions - and not top draw ones either...
Egyptian reign by desert sun group one winner
Egyptian ra by woodborough group one winner
And one by al Akbar (can't remember it's name)
Pure mare power!
Heard all this before. Zabeel had a slow year (no comparison by the way) and dare I say Power has not turned things on fire as a two year old yet IN NEW ZEALAND - no more than Jimmy did !
time will out.
