Deep Impact is going to have a deep impact with so many foals


Sweet Matchem! Bloodhorse.com reports that this Japanese superstar is thought to be a successor to Sunday Silence, so he's being bred to....wait for it....230 MARES! That's crazy! I just hope they hit the ground running: Sunday Silence was a hugely underrated sire and one of the greatest successes of recent years. He revolutionized the Japanese breeding industry and was an American superstar, as well. I just wish that America could get some of his stock going, as they could definitely use an outcross to all the Northern Dancer and Mr. Prospector lines over there. Hail to Reason is a very good, consistent sire line that produces quality horses: just look at Sunday's sire, Halo. He not only sired Sunday Silence, but 1983 Kentucky Derby winner Sunny's Halo. He has numerous sons at stud and I bet his line will continue for quite some time.

Here's Deep Impact up at the top. Handsome lad, no? ;)
