SEIZE THE DAY

CARPE DIEM possessed the combination of speed, precociousness, and Grade 1 dirt ability that hasn't been matched by over 2,000 horses of racing age sired by the great GIANT'S CAUSEWAY that came before him. Nineteen sons of GIANT’S CAUSEWAY stand  at stud in 2025 around the world, including Not This Time ($175,000 fee).

 

From a record-breaking sale topper, to a TDN Rising Star-worthy debut at Saratoga, all the way up to his second Grade 1 triumph in the $1 million Blue Grass Stakes S.-G1 that made him one of the favorites for the prestigious Kentucky Derby-G1 among one of the best crops of 3-year-olds the industry has seen in recent history.

A Leading Sixth Crop Sire in North America Cumulative, CARPE DIEM has sired 68% winners/starters, 35 Stakes Horses, 14 Stakes Winners, 2 Graded Stakes Winners and his leading money winner is CHANCHENG PRINCE ($1,435,369).
