This series is dedicated to legendary THOROUGHBRED RACEHORSES, these amazing, graceful, beautiful animals and champions whose names most of us have at the very least have heard of.....



SUNDAY SILENCE
Sunday Silence had an impressive race record; he never placed lower than second in the 14 starts of his career. However, he is best remembered for his rivalry with 2-year-old champion Easy Goer. The two spent much of their second season battling for the lead. Sunday Silence defeated Easy Goer in 3 of their 4 meetings. Sunday Silence won the Kentucky Derby by 2 1/2 lengths and the Preakness in an exciting stretch duel. He then lost the Belmont to Easy Goer but retaliated later in the year by winning the Breeders' Cup Classic. At the end of the season Sunday Silence was named champion 3-year-old and Horse of the Year. The following year he ran twice: winning the Californian and placing second in the Hollywood Gold Cup. Sunday Silence was eventually sold to Japanese breeder Zenya Yoshida to stand at the Shadai Stallion Station in Hokkaido. Yoshida had bought a 25% interest in Sunday Silence early in his 4-year-old season and bought out the other partners for an undisclosed amount. Sunday Silence flourished in Japan and became their leading sire over the last decade, topping their sire list from 1995 through 2005. As a sire, Sunday Silence is simply unsurpassed. His offspring have won over $500 million dollars at the track.
