well, like he said, you'd possibly have a horse covering up to four times a day with a book of 120--so just how many times did giants causeway have to do the same to get the # of foals he got from last springs matings? and people sometimes say these horses deserve to retire to a life of leisure!! that's not what i'd call it!

well, what do you know....giants causeway covered 192 mares last spring. afleet alex-169. he couldn't handle the wear and tear of racing, but he could jump mares four times daily. wonderful. fupeg-131--and then got to shuttle and do it all again in the fall.

Hmm.. What do those 2 stallions have in common?

They are half brothers (RR and Corredor)

Vindication covered 9 billion mares, actually 136
