Yeah, when I first opened the link and saw that it was Japanese, I assumed the horse was California Chrome. He has the same 4 white socks and seemingly identical white blaze. Then I looked at the comments on the video, and the only one in English said this guy is 31 freakin' years old! Well, I thought, so much for being California Chrome!!
My goodness, not only is this horse an amazing physical specimen, but his energy level is through the roof! This is one very happy and obviously much-loved Senior Citizen!!
Ishino Sunday is a son of Sunday Silence, his dam was also a US bred mare named Jefforee. This farm also uses him to help teach new handlers.
Ishino Sunday was called one of the ‘’Big Four'' of the Sunday Silence's second crop along with Royal Touch, Bubble Gum Fellow and Dance in the Dark.
My personal favorite of the four was Dance in the Dark.
But I'm very happy to see the 1996 Satsuki Sho winner Ishino Sunday still doing well at JBBA Shizunai, while all the others already passed away.
Of side note, Ishino Sunday's dam's sire is the great Alydar(USA) who was the sire of Easy Goer,(USA), the predestined rival of Sunday Silence.
