The horse himself nearly won the BC Classic on dirt, and both of his parents were dirt horses. Why couldn't he sire a dirt (or AW) winner? Sounds like these folks confused Giant's Causeway with Sadler's Wells.

PG1985 is that you?????

I believe that the thought was that Giant's Causeway was a much better turf sire than dirt sire....which he is.

poor first samurai...how quickly you're forgotten.

having an occasional winner on dirt does not a dirt sire make...
