Default Best Sire in the world
A bunch of my friends think im crazy but i think Giant's Causeway is the best in the world, his offspring perform on turf or dirt, long or short, i think this guy is a monster sire. They can win first time out, over sloppy tracks anything they just always seem to run good, and with him being such a young sire i think the sky is the limit, i know when i handicap turf races, especially maiden races the first thing i look for is if he has a first timer in the race, because they always seem to run big

How many US G-1 dirt racers could fly to England and just lose the most prestigious turf race by a nose? That is what GC accomplished in the BCC.

GC got off plane after 7 consecutive G-1 wins in Europe, on the turf of course, and ran his first dirt race in the BCC...losing by the long nose of Tiznow.

Coolmore bred GC his first years in the US to "any mare with four legs" to recoupe his syndication cost. There were not 191 "carefully selected" mares via conformation,pedigree, etc...only owners w/mares who could pay 300k per pop.

The one's I have been around have all been hot, nervous , iron jawed and dumb but Im sure there are nice one's out there. If I were an owner or breeder I would get away from the Storm Cat line, I dont like most of them but thats just me.

By the way, I would think that Street Cry is headed in the right direction.

AP Indy.
I know it is one of the more obvious choices, but there is a reason for that.
