He is inbred 4×3 to Roberto and his third dam is the racing great Dahlia, a daughter of the stamina influence and one-time Gainesyway sire Vaguely Noble.

Love Giant's Causeway, love his offspring. Thanks for the Dahlia connection, Patuxet, I wasn't aware of it.
Wasn't the Gold Cup a thing of beauty? Rite of Passage is no Yeats, but it was a thrilling race. (Cashed in nicly at 22-1, too!!!) Going to be hard to wait a whole year for the meet to come around again.
