Father of deep impact is Sunday silence . He won the American Triple Crown race with rival Easy Gore with 2 wins and 1 loss, and although he became a national horse of the year, his father's stallion performance was not very good and his pedigree was low. Since 1991, I have lived in Japan as a stallion since various factors such as the financial situation of the owner at the time and the friendship between the owner and Mr. Teruya Yoshida, the commander of the Shadai Group. The stallion record was overwhelming, becoming the leading sire for 13 consecutive years from 1995 to 2007.
