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...

Welcome back Captain Obvious. Since your actual identity has been confirmed.....did you know you have serious new competition as most ridiculous poster on the site? Did you return to try and regain your title?

You have some hard work ahead of you....but your pps say your up to the challenge. I am glad that your initial posts confirmed my opinion that Giant Moon is going nowhere.

This is strange pheomenon. Who'd have guessed it, before coming to these forums, that HORSES had GROUPIES. Hard to believe that there are people out there actually fixated on these horses. Or, a related fixation, Pat Valenzuela. Pval posts dominate these boards. It's weird, man.

I'm sure Giant Causeway appreciates the concern/support. Makes his day, really.

Well, I don't know who this jcs11204 might be, but I would sure like to welcome him to the board!
I am too busy celebrating my big score yesterday to worry about it.
Here is the story, after I saw that this son of Giant's Causeway was in the race, I went out to the OTB that I built in my backyard, and bet 14 bajillion dollars on him to win. Why did I wager so much?
Mainly it was because I knew he was unbeatable.

First of all.. Yes. It is going no where... And I'm as big a Rick Schosberg fan as there is anywhere.

And 'solid group'? Solid group of what?

Texas Wildcatter..
Holidaze..
Eaton's Gift..
Ling Ling Qi..
Saratoga Russell..
Roman Emperor..

It's a solid group of $50k claimers, first level ALW horses, sprinters and restricted company performers.

People should stop confusing full fields of what-nots with 'good group'..

Giant Moon isn't even going to win the Albany at Saratoga.

The Gotham? Be serious. This is funny.

It really is unfair when a guy works as hard as that poster did to build up as substantial a resume of insanity, as he did, and then he goes unrecognized.
