no listen your taking my argument the wrong way, i know saddlers wells and i have been looking at the website and everything, i realize how great he is, i will go read up on him some more, i guess i have phrased my argument the wrong way i guess i should say that giants causeway could be the best in the world, not that he is.

47 GC yearlings have been sold this year for an average of $55000. That is not the sign of a stallion that is going in the right direction, Shekh Mo's boycott or not.

NO one can explain that...all they do is quote the yearling sales prices...

My opinion as I stated in a prior post is the first years' here, Coolmore bred GC to 191+ mares...or anyone who payed the 300k...bound to be duds. I think that GC is now private because Coolmore is being very selective after flooding the market with GC's progeny. As stated, the boycott by the sheik's has to hurt the numbers too.

Sadler's Wells has been at it a lot longer than GC, so that comparison is skewed.
