I know I say it almost every year, but I can't believe that Buena Vista, Special Week & King K haven't been inducted yet. It's astounding.

I know that South American countries are sometimes considered the destination for shuttle stallions or stallions that weren't popular in the Northern Hemisphere... But I think these countries also hold valuable reserves of bloodlines that need to be protected and may make a comeback one day. You mentioned Bal A Bali, for example. I'd love to see his sireline re-establish itself in the U.S.tachyon wrote: ↑Mon Jun 08, 2020 8:42 am But……, 60 minutes later…..
Agnes Gold 3yo colt Abu Dhabi(BRZ)[o/o Fugazi(BRZ) by Crimson Tide(IRE)] won the G1 Grande Premio Cruzeiro do Sul (Brazilian Derby) 2400m turf at Gavea on June 7th 2020!!!!

Bal a Bali was the darling of TBC when he arrived in the states and kept on doing super, wasn't he?
I remember there was a thread for him of course.
Time really flies and I sometimes miss those days.
Now I hope Bal a Bali will do well at stud, too!

Ivar is running again today at Churchill Downs in Race 9, a 1 1/16 mile AOC on the turf. Joe Talamo rides.
ETA: Ivar won gate-to-wire and was at odds of 14-1. I think he won by 2 1/2 lengths.

I saw the replay.
The announcer called him an upset winner and I saw his odds.
----> Ah well, he was a 14/1.
Well done Ivar!

Looks like a Sunday Silence-line horse, that's for sure.

A very exciting finish for sure. They don't come any more blue-blooded than Fancy Blue.

I know he has no North American G1 winners, but Silent Name has really carved out a living as a consistently good source of Canadian bred horses. Mostly restricted or listed winners, with the odd G2 or G3 winner peppered in, but as a fellow Ontario resident (who one day would like to own a broodmare or two), he’d be an obvious candidate.

Silent Name has also sired quite a few G1-placed horses, namely Silentio, who is now a stallion in Texas somewhere. He has been at Keen Farms and Double Infinity Ranch, but not sure where he is now.

It's the end of an era, to me.
Hat Trick(JPN) was the only G1 winning son of Sunday Silence(USA) standing permanently outside of Japan.
R.I.P. beautiful boy, one of the best sons of Sunday Silence.
