Sunday Silence did not stand in America prior to his importation; anyway, Charasmatic did only win two (maybe three) big races. And more importantly, he needed a whole lot of racing to get to his full potential and I don't think Japanese horses run any more often than American ones.

hi Slew83 ...

You wrote "Is Charismatic the next great sire for Japan?"

Slew83..."Great sire" (in Japan) as in Sunday Silence ?

I suggest that giving Charismatic even a slim chance at accomplishhing greatness may be too optimistic...

...but I wish him all the best...and expect he may have a degree of success (at least to some extent).
