Tachyon, thank you for posting those pictures of Hat Trick.

Tachyon, thank you for posting those pictures of Hat Trick.

Agreed. Tachyon, I am so sorry Hat Trick died at a relatively young age.

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.

Silentio is at Haras Vadarkblar in Argentina now.

That is useful news. Does it mean Silent Name and Yoshida are the only sources of the Sunday Silence male line in North America?

A Deep Impact son, Dowsing, was standing in Indiana. Though he was unraced and started stud at 10k, Bloodhorse lists him as standing 2020 for 25k. So I doubt he is getting many mares at that price...

according to the jockey club, he has covered under 20 mares and year and has really really bad fertility.
2017 breeding/2018 foals - 28 mares - 11 foals (39%)
2018 breeding/2019 foals - 22 mares - 6 foals (27%)
2019 breeding - 17 mares

Fusaichi Zenon has been a consistent sire of both thoroughbreds and AQHs out west for many years. He is in his 20s now.

I'm glad to hear that Fusaichi Zenon(JPN), 1997H. Sunday Silence(USA) x Elizabeth Rose(JPN) by Northern Taste(CAN), is still covering mares.
As you may know, he is a full brother to Agnes Gold(JPN) who is doing super in Brazil now.

Of Sunday Silence sons who ever stood in the US, Eishin Masamune(JPN) is unforgettable, too.
He was the first son of Sunday Silence to stand at stud in the US (and Austinpower(JPN) was the second).
I remember we had several discussions about Eishin Masamune in this forum, too.
He was blind in one eye like Seabuiscuit and that's why his owner decided to send him to the US as one-eyed horses were not allowed to race in Japan. He was named after a samurai lord Date Masamune who was also blind in one eye.
And it was in TBC forum I learned about his passing in a trailer accident from a poster here.
He had a son who became a stallion only for one year in Silent Boomarang(USA).

Thanks for the update!
Dowsing(JPN) is a 1/2 to G2 winner & G1 placed Freedonia(GB), whose daughter Albigna(IRE) won the G1 Prix Marcel Boussac.

Today is the 18th anniversary of Sunday Silence's passing.
His influence is still on the rise in various aspects.

Thank you for the picture. I don't think I've seen that one before.

@Tachyon, I came across this tribute to Sunday on a FB page tonight. It was cross-linked in a California Chrome FB page. The person who posted it said this: "In remembrance of one of the greatest Thoroughbreds of all time, who became the linchpin Stallion for Japanese racing, and became one the most influential Sire of Sires that the world has ever known. He was such a magnificent Stallion, a King of Racing. Thanks for all the wonderful memories, and all the gifts that you left us. You are very, very sorely missed because you are so unforgettable. Continue to RIP, sweet Sire."

The accompanying picture is too large to post here, so I'm providing the link to the source FB page.

Aww....
that's the perfect way to pay tribute to his sire who passed away earlier this month.
Hat Trick was typically a late-charger, too.
Way to go, Win Win Win!!

[tachyon]

This clip is incredibly beautiful!!
Thanks NYRA!

Beautiful performance.

I hope this will be enough to give Win Win Win a chance to be a stallion at a nice farm in the U.S.

My sentiments exactly!!
I'm very excited with Win Win Win's first G1 win on the US dirt today.
But people may easily say; ''Just loved that sloppy track?'', ''Weak field as a G1.'', ''By Hat Trick o/o of a Smarty Jones mare? His pedigree is far from fashionable.'' etc. etc.
(Please don't get me wrong. I'm always a biiiig Smarty fan myself, haha!)

I strongly hope that he will make a real ''Win Win Win = Hat Trick'' in the G1s from here before he retires to stud!!!!
