Able Friend (Aus)

Now I don’t want to tempt fate, so I am busily touching wood while I type this one-handed, but–with luck–Giant’s Causeway should be around for plenty more years. After all, this multiple champion sire will be no older than 18 next year, whereas his sire Storm Cat and broodmare sire Rahy were respectively 25 and 24 when their last few foals were conceived. His dam Mariah’s Storm has also proved durable, producing her 13th foal–a filly by Galileo– at the age of 23 this year, when she again visited Galileo.
