Sunday Silence Can he continue?

Does anyone have any opinions of Sunday Silence being able to carry
his line past more than 2 or 3 generations?

nferro, I assume you mean the male line. Otherwise, with all his successful offspring, I don't see how Sunday Silence won't be a major influence in TB pedigrees for many generations to come, especially in the Eastern Hemisphere.

As for his sons, I would have to think at least a few will rise to the top as sires and carry on the male line.

They already have. I believe 6 of the first 10 horses on the japanese leading sires list last year were Sunday (number 1, where he's been since his second crop) and 5 of his sons.

Make that Sunday and 3 sons -- Dance in the Dark, Fuji Keskei, and Marvelous Sunday.

I hope so. I was at Belmont the day he lost to Easy Goer and always thought he was the better of the two, just not that day! :lol:
