Just thinking back over the past 15 years. Has there been a more disappointing sire than King of Kings? I absolutely loved him as a racehorse. He walked his Guineas.

Ghostzapper a definite runner for this award - particularly given how high his first season stud fee was.

Ghostzapper started at 200k
Fusaichi at 150k
Ghostzapper has only two G1 winers, (Stately Victor and one other)
Fusaichi has had a number of decent perfromrer (Bandini, Haradasun, Roman Ruler and more)
Ghostzapper the best shout so far, I reckon.

Pretty sure Ghostzapper was in the 100k+ range.
Fu Peg was around 75 IIRC.

180k drop in 5 seasons - shocking stuff.

The likes of Roman Ruler seem a long time ago now. Haradasun obviously more recent ~ perhaps there is hope for him in Australia?
The consistent decline in his fee leaves no doubt that he has been anything other than a failure.

He was sold at Tattersalls last November.

Jazz Messenger.
Whatever happened to him. Seeing Straw Bear reminded me of some of those hurdlers just below the BI/HE/MJ level.
And how about Like A Butterfly; has she produced anything yet?

Speaking of Like A Butterfly (which I wasn't) does anyone know how Adamant Approach is these days?
He was still winning handicaps at 13yo or 14yo as I recall, and looked as enthusiastic for the game as he always did, the last time I saw him.
