I second that wish.

Tachyon, I don't know how to thank you enough for keeping us informed of Sunday Silence's descendants. He is among my all-time favorites. I saw him run numerous times when I lived in Southern California, and love him dearly to this day. I'm so very glad that the Japanese saw the value in him when American breeders did not.

I'm not a wealthy person, but if I was, I would buy as many good Sunday Silence descendants as I could and bring them back to the U.S. Ah, dreams...

Vermouth(JPN), 1997M. Sunday Silence(USA) x Legacy of Strength(USA) by Affirmed(USA), became the 25th daughter of Sunday Silence(USA) to produce G1 winner, when Red Falx(JPN)[2011H. by Swept Overboard(USA)] won in the G1 Sprinters Stakes 1200m turf at Nakayama on Oct 2nd 2016.

Vermouth(JPN) is a full sister to G1 winner Stinger(JPN)

1st. (#13) Red Falx(JPN)
http://www.jbis.jp/horse/0001134867/

Red Falx(JPN), 2011H. Swept Overboard(USA) x Vermouth(JPN) by Sunday Silence(USA), demonstrated an extraordinary closing kick and successfully defended his G1 Sprinters Stakes title, becoming the third horse in history since Sakura Bakushin O(JPN) (1992-93) and Lord Kanaloa(JPN) (2012-13) to do so.

And I believe that Swept Overboard(USA) has now found a very credible successor at stud in Japan!!

Holy cow, talk about a flying finish... that last furlong was insane!!! Super impressive win for Red Falx & no shame at all in that second for Lets Go Donki.

tachyon, did Nanako Fujita have a mount in this race? I thought I read something earlier in the week about it...

I like those End Sweep x Sunday Silence cross!!!

Yes, 2015 Okasho winner Let's Go Donki ran a super race for the second place.
No, Nanako Fujita was not in that race. She has never been given a chance to ride at the highest level yet.

And here are some recent picks of Swept Overboard(USA).
(I never forget his Met Mile)




at Breeders Stallion Station, Sep 2017

Thank you for the pictures of Swept Overboard. He was a neat little horse -- his biggest win was in the Met Mile, but I remember him mostly from his nail-bitingly close come-from-behind wins in sprints on both surfaces in SoCal.

I'm glad he finally got a good son.

Real Steel (JPN) held off Satono Aladdin to take the G2 Mainichi Okan at Tokyo Racecourse. Lots of big names in the field which also included Soul Stirring (who led most of the way) and Makahiki, who were both coming back after layoffs.

Real Steel is by Deep Impact & out of Loves Only Me (USA), who has Terlingua for one granddam & Miesque for the other.

[BaroqueAgain1]

I read on RacingPost that Real Steel may come over for the Breeders' Cup (the Turf, I presume). It would be cool to have Japan represented at Del Mar.
