MATING SUGGESTIONS: During his career at Ashford Stud, Giant’s Causeway topped the Blood-Horse’s General Sires list three times and rarely finished outside the top four. In the process he was represented by more than 30 northern hemisphere Gr.1 winners and roughly 100 Graded/Group winners. Many of his sons have gone on to sire Gr.1 winners, with Shamardal founding a flourishing dynasty in Europe. Now Giant’s Causeway has another son – the top-class 2YO Not This Time – who promises to do the same in North America. Although all of his first four crops of racing age were sired at only $15,000 or $12,500, Not This Time is already responsible for the highly impressive total of 30 SWs, including five winners at Gr.1 level. He has been North America’s leading second-crop and third-crop sire and is heading for the fourth-crop sire title in 2023. At the early age of eight, he became a top-ten sire in 2022 and he is again a top-ten sire in 2023. 20
