I wonder what ever happened to these two?

I was kindly informed by a TBC poster on this board that Eishin Masamune had died due to an accident while moving to Indiana.
That's all what I know.

I wonder what ever happened to these two?

Eishin Masamune died in 2008. The farm that stood him in Colorado, Holden Farm, now stands Dowsing.
Sunday Romeo was/is a gelding, the Inaugural Handicap was his lone stakes win.

This is wonderful and makes me excited for next season.

I'm also happy with Ivar's run in the Mile. He was a winner until the last 40-50 meters.

Interesting read!
Thanks for sharing!!
I always like Alan Porter's pedigree analysis on Bloodhorse.
His reference to Goodbye Halo(USA) in this article made me smile, too, by the way.
King Halo(JPN), Dancing Brave(USA) x Goodbye Halo(USA), became an excellent broodmare sire in Japan.

Glad you enjoyed it. Porter is usually spot on with his pedigree analyses.

He is still in training, he posted a workout on the 12th.

It's a real shame that he remains unable to find any stud deal in the US...
I will continue to cheer for him, anyway.

So will I.

Ivar might do well being a stallion in Europe, but I assume he'll be most appreciated in South America.

Equinox(JPN) captured his second G1 tile in the Arima Kinen 2500m turf at Nakayama under Christophe Lemaire with the fewest career starts on Dec 25th 2022.
The Arima Kinen was the sixth career outing for the colt who came off a victory in the Tenno Sho (Autumn).
He is now likely to be named the Horse of the Year and, if it happens, he will be the first great-grandson (or great-granddaughter) of Sunday Silence(USA) to be honored the most prestigious champion title in Japan!!!
His sire Kitasan Black(JPN) is the son of Black Tide(JPN )[Sunday Silence(USA) x Wind in Her Hair(IRE)].
