Description: Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 * * * * * * Excerpts quoted from a July 29, 2016 article in THE BLOOD HORSE Magazine online: Since Blood-Horse sire lists began including adjusted Japanese earnings, the appearance of Sunday Silence at the top of the 2016 leading broodmare sire list is not surprising. The dual classic-winning son of Halo became a tour de force following his 1991 export to Japan. Sunday Silence was the most successful stallion in Japanese history, leading the sire ranks 13 consecutive years, from 1995 through 2008, according to the Japan Bloodhorse Breeders' Association. Two factors set up Sunday Silence's appearance on the Blood-Horse broodmare sire list, which only includes stallions represented by at least one North American starter. Sunday Silence died in 2002, but even with adjusted earnings he is dominating the broodmare sire list with $21,258,065 in progeny earnings. His continued influence speaks volumes. * * * * * * * * SUNDAY SILENCE – Racing’s Hard Luck Hero by Ray Paulick Copyright 2008, 215 pages Brand NEW book ~ inventory purchased directly from the publisher.

But in the skillful hands of Hall of Fame trainer Charlie Whittingham Sunday Silence showed his resiliency on the racetrack.
