Does anybody have a look at his stats without his Down Under foal crops? He was a massive flop in Australia/New Zealand.
It'd also be interesting to see a breakdown of how he has done with european family mares (e.g. My Typhoon) versus american family mares (e.g. First Samurai). My gut instinct says he has done better from the european family mares, but that's just a gut feeling and I have no proof.

I have no real opinion, just that I had this as an old link in my bookmarks and found it earlier this evening.

He has gotten nice G1 producing mares. Thoroughbred Times stallion directory gives his SI(Sire Index) as 2.62 ComSI is 3.94. That means the mares bred to Giants Causeway produced better runners with other stallions and he is dragging his mares down. His current AEI is only 1.99 according to equineline.com
