Giants Causeway being private is kind of weird. I'm trying to figure out the motivation of not publishing the fee. If the Sheikh wont buy them anyway, what difference does it make whether or not the fee is published?
First Samurai is already booked at 40K and Claiborne will really benefit from the Shiekh boycott on Giants Causeway with him. Hes not only a son of First Sam but Giants Causeway's only grade one winner on the dirt, and breeders don't have to worry about the "Sheikh won't buy them" problem because hes not being stood by Coolmore.
