The rise of Sunday Silence

[CorridorZ75]

One from last crop of Deep Impact just went for about $2.7mill as first lot at Select Sale. Out of Go Maggie Go.

Heart's Cry - She Will Reign ( her first foal) went for almost $1.5million.

A Heart 's Cry half brother to a 2021 Chrome colt sold for $430K

I think they are starting the bidding at the Reserve price which I think is quite rational and saves time for everyone.
Danox Co, Hasegawa Yuji , and Fujita Susumu throwing them dolla bills. And Kaneko Makoto Holdings getting in on the fun.

Deep Impact- Watsdachances filly took time for bidding to get going, but ended up at $1mill +. She looks a bit crazy though.

A Sinister Minister just went for $400K. It would be rare to see one of his going for $40K in US. High purses surely make for a strong sales market.

Half to Glory Vase sold for $1.5mill.

Saxon Warrior yearling going for 90,000,000 yen will make Coolmore very happy.

Satono Aladdin and Satono Diamond throwing their names into the ring to replace their sire, but apparently Silver State is highly thought of as well.

Lord Kanaloa- Finest City colt just tied for highest price so far.

Rather strange sale for last Deep Impact colt through ring- $1.8mill on only one bid by the owner of Deep Impact- I can only assumed it was a bit staged; I also assume the final Deep Impact's were placed in the sale just so on purpose as well.

Chrome's Rau Breck colt was RNA.

Sinister Minister sired a winner of a domestic G1 dirt race in Japan recently.

On the Go Maggie Go colt, is that a weird clip, sweat, or an actual marking?

And that Finest City baby is beautiful.

“She got there very quickly and gave me a very professional feel,” Moore said, “and the race was over very quickly … at the two-and-a-half, really. She definitely felt today like she was better than she was [in the Irish Oaks] at the Curragh [last month].”

In Love(BRZ) is trained by Paulo Lobo.
I'm wondering where Ivar(BRZ) will be pointed to next.
He's been unraced since May but posting workouts recently at The Thoroughbred Center.
