Is Langfuhr the most under rated sire in America?

Many people believe that he is a sire of sprinters.  I heartily disagree.  Look at the record.  It is my privilege to have the connection to this great horse through his halter.  It is my belief that, when history be told, Langfuhr's significance will be appreciated and understood.  I hope that it is realized while there is still time to take advantage of his contribution.
