i've noticed the same spread. best example of a newly restricted product on the market in it's search for a stable price. in vacuum's like this, people make money that is not available from traditional stable markets, ie when he was alive and producing.
there is a double bred energizer son matched up with energizer at the same spot, ie, that will probably do the same thing.

he's diluted for legacy, so maybe he's more moderate, then again, he's stacked again with smithbuilt being double bred warchief, and smithbuilt is on the bottom through eclipse as well.
seems like a potential replacement. if i wasn't already stoked, i'd probably give him a try, but i already got my stacked smithbuilts in a moderate package picked out. don't have any trouble adding more though, especially if he has different markers. just for grins, only 15 bulls and one heifer from over 1000 tested have one marker and they are all hetero for it. don't know who they are though. i wonder if those people know who they are and where they came from, and hopefully not from halfbloods.
