Jezabeel is the second Melbourne Cup winner booked to go to Danehill’s replacement Giant’s Causeway in his first Australian stud season. 

Jezabeel  Two Cup Winners For Giant’s Causeway

Following last week’s annuncement that Giant’s Causeway will receive champion Kiwi mare Ethereal in his first Australian season at a fee of $125,000, the champion son of Storm Cat’s list has grown to include a bevy of top class Group performers led by the 1998 Melbourne Cup winner Jezabeel.

Other mares booked to Giant’s Causeway include dual G1 winner Tempest Morn, Bel Esprit’s dam Bespoken, Keeper’s dam Nuwirah, Redoute’s Choice’s dam Shantha’s Choice, Barkada’s dam Biscotte and Prawn Cocktail, dam of Langoustine. 

Other mares on his list include Cannsea, Piccadilly Circus, Allez France and Dream Appeal, dam of G1 winner Sydney’s Dream. 

It’s not surprising that Giant;s Causeway is attracting many of Danehill’s mares, given the similarties in their pedigrees.

Giant’s Causeway is out of Mariah’s Storm, by champion sire and leading broodmare sire Rahy, by Blushing Groom and out of a mare by Halo. Like Danehill he carries inbreeding to the great broodmare Almahmoud, the grandam of Northern Dancer.
