Songline(JPN), 2018M. Kizuna(JPN) x Luminous Parade(JPN) by Symboli Kris S(USA), became the third horse in JRA history, following Yamanin Zephyr (1992-93) and Vodka (2008-09), to win the G1 Yasuda Kinen 1600m turf at Tokyo back-to-back on June 4th 2023.
That was her third G1 success.

Auguste Rodin, a son of Deep Impact, won the Epsom Derby this past weekend. I think this is thrilling...to see a grandson of Sunday Silence win the oldest derby in the world and in the birthplace of the Thoroughbred breed. Sunday Silence, rejected by American breeders, has become a true worldwide breed-shaping stallion.
Here's the Bloodhorse article. It contains a high quality video of the entire race: https://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing ... uste-rodin

She came flying from last!!
Neverwalkalone(BRZ), 2020F. Agnes Gold(JPN) x Zafira(BRZ) by Redattore(BRZ), won the G1 Gran Premio Estrellas Juvenile Fillies 1600m turf at San Isidro, Argentina, on June 23rd 2023.

The runner-up Through Seven Seas(JPN), 2018M. Dream Journey(JPN) x Mighty Slew(JPN) by Kurofune(USA), should get an honorable mention as she came flying from the rear under Kenichi Ikezoe with a tough trip. She is a great-granddaughter of Sunday Silence(USA), too!!

last Saturday, Orla de Ipanema (Agnes Gold) won the G2 GP Francisco Villela de Paulo Machado impressively. she was so well clear in the end that her jockey spent the last furlong just celebrating the victory ! and an extremely fun fact — her dam, Classic Road (Wild Event), is a ½ sister to the dam of GP Brasil's winner Raptor's! what a boost to that page!

Interesting comments by both Aidan O'Brien and Ryan Moore on the similarities between Sunday Silence and Auguste Rodin in interviews after the Derby. After watching replays of SS in the Preakness, O'Brien said that looking at Sunday Silence you thought you were looking at Auguste, they were the very same. Sunday Silence indeed stamped his off spring!

Fun fact: winner #1 is a gelding named Third Street and he was a $3000 RNA earlier this year.

I don't imagine that Yoshida's offspring will be precocious.
Yoshida(JPN) himself broke his maiden at 3 and got better with ages. So did Hilda's Passion(USA).
I only hope that US breeders will be patient and give him a better group of broodmares going forward.
It looks like Yoshida's sire Heart's Cry(JPN) is a wonderful sire-of-sires and I hardly imagine that Heart's Cry-line's stud prodpect will fall shy of Deep Impact-line's. Furthermore, Heart's Cry's offspring's record on the dirt is much better than Deep Impact's offspring's.
Most recently, Heart's Cry's freshman stallion Suave Richard(JPN) got off to a flying start in Japan.
Like Hilda's Passion, Suave Richard's dam Pirramimma(USA) is a Mr Prospector-line mare.
Yoshida should have a bright future and I believe that Heart's Cry-line will be best fitted for the North American racing.

Thank you!!!!
Sunday Silence was such a handsome guy.
I believe that he ran three races at Santa Anita in 1989 -- ALW (March 2nd), San Felipe (March 19th) and Santa Anita Derby (April 8th)
