Ascetic (champion sire at least 7 times), My Prince (5), Vulgan (10), Cadoudal (12+).
Good sire though Deep Run was, he wouldn’t be remotely near the class of those 4. He was the first NH stallion to cover vast books of mares.

Although not the ‘greatest’ on paper, I’ve always loved Roselier
Said to prefer it soft but went an most surfaces I found, with their round but low knee action. The ‘greatest’ for me
Presenting looks set to sweep all before him before long, I suspect. Maybe not with quantity but certainly the quality of big race victors.

Deep Run was a great sire but covered massive books of mares so got plenty of chances.
My vote would go to Vulgan.

Fortina.
Won the Gold Cup himself, then went on to sire multiple Gold Cup winners, Irish National winners, and an American champion.
