The Storm Cat line is too prevelant. It getting harder and harder to find breeding without it somewhere. Storm Cat has a habit of producing nasty, brittle horses. The good ones are really good. But the bad traits are passed off too.

Best sire: A.P. Indy and distorted humor. Most overrated: Kingmambo amd Broad Brush. Most underated: Quiet Am. and silver deputy. Best Future Sire: Bernardini and Ghostzapper. Best broodmare sire: Relaunch and Deputy Minister. Howevever, the best sire in the "world" is Sunday Silence.

i love Sadler's Wells he has produced lots of monsters, but to be the best in the world, in my opinion you need more of a dirt influence.

i realize that, but to be the best sire in the world dont you think that the sire should produce great horses on both surfaces ? thats why i think giants causeway will be the best, if he already isent. i have no problem saying sadler's wells is the best in Ireland

If all else was equal I would choose Distorted Humor over Giants Causeway.

Comparing Giants Causeway and Sadlers Wells is like comparing Eli Manning and Johnny Unitas

By the way I think that Giants Causeway is really a turf sire that occasionally gets a dirt runner. Sadlers Wells is a legendary sire, perhaps the greatest sire ever in Europe. Maybe Giants Causeway can get a fair stakes horse like First Samurai on the Dirt but he is about 10 champions behind Sadlers Wells on the Turf. I believe that you may be attaching yourself to a falling star.

well at this point im definitly attached i think he is a great sire, but i ment i was standing by the fact that i cannot call saddlers wells the best sire in the world because he dosent produce on both surfaces....i can say the best in ireland, or europe, but not in the world

I will bet you that Giants Causeway has zero grade 1 winners on the dirt this year.
