Celia(JPN) - 2015f. King Kamehameha(JPN) x Cesario(JPN), by Special Week(JPN)

[BaroqueAgain1]

What a gorgeous girl, and it looks like she has quite an engine on her.

I was admiring Celia, and then I saw...

2yo filly ROLE MODEL

Dam: In Lingerie (USA) a Group 1 winner in the USA

Holy cow are these Japanese TBs conformationally gorgeous sometimes.

[Starine]

Role Model looks like a nice filly, but I just love how balanced Celia is.

We'll have to follow both.

Stay Gold(JPN) (1994 - 2015) : Sunday Silence(USA) x Golden Sash(JPN) by Dictus(FR)

[Ridan_Remembered]

I love that photo of Stay Gold. His handler was just as calm as could be with that stallion.

Thanks also for the photo of Sinharaja, who looks a lot like Orfevre. I'm very interested in how Orfevre does at stud. I would love to see more Japanese (and German) bred horses be brought to the United States to cross with our domestic lines. I like how the Japanese have developed the breed in Japan.

[lurkey mclurker]

Wow, Admire Lead came from almost nowhere, squeezing through that tiiiiiiiny hole. I guess that's the ride you get with Lemaire, LOL... fearless!

The big names nowhere in it, really. Bummer for Lets Go Donki, she was supposedly training well.

Wow, he was super impressive in his stakes debut.
What's next for him?
I'm already hopeful that he will be a stallion in the states.

That was so exciting. They're already calling her next year's Guineas winner, so I hope that's not a jinx. She is small but mighty!

''HIGH HOPES FOR YOSHIDA''
http://cdn.bloodhorse.com/daily-app/pdf ... 170701.pdf

Several wow-worthy moments on Preakness Stakes　Day 2017 at Pimlico Race Course made the afternoon
one to remember, but the most impressive rendition of　the day from the 2014 crop arguably occurred approximately
four hours before the country's best dirt 3-yearolds　contested the middle jewel of the Triple Crown.
Showing every sign of possible stardom in the　$100,000 James W. Murphy Stakes over the Pimlico
lawn, Yoshida closed from 23 lengths back in last to　and canny Joel Rosario.......

"I thought she was a perfect balance for Heart's　Cry and the Sunday Silence line," Walden said. "We're
excited about Yoshida and we'll see what transpires　next week. It's going to be an acid test. If he wins a
grade 1 for us and is capable of that kind of effort, I　think people will be attracted to that different kind of
bloodline and obviously any horse we acquire like this,　we are hoping can land in the stallion barn."

[Ridan_Remembered]

I'm pulling for Yoshida to develop even more into a really top-level horse. Bringing Sunday Silence's line back to the U.S. is a wonderful goal and I'm grateful to his connections for making the effort.

Agreed. He's a very exciting prospect for both the racetrack and the breeding shed.

Dabirsim(FR)(Hat Trick) covered 190 mares this year.
