He was born unwanted.
Sold for cheap.
Overlooked because of crooked legs and a black coat that didn’t shine like the others.
But inside him was something nobody saw coming ,a warrior’s heart.

Sunday Silence, born in 1986 in Kentucky, was the c**t nobody believed in. He survived a near fatal virus, a van crash, and years of being doubted. But when the gates opened, he ran like hell had broken loose.

In 1989, he clashed with his great rival Easy Goer in what became one of racing’s most iconic battles.
Kentucky Derby , Won.
Preakness Stakes ,A nose victory in a race so brutal, it left the crowd breathless.
Belmont Stakes , Beaten, but not broken.
Then came the Breeders’ Cup Classic, the rematch and Sunday Silence sealed his legend.

He was named Horse of the Year, but America never fully embraced him. Too dark, too different. So his owner sent him to Japan.
And there, Sunday Silence became a god.
He didn’t just become a successful sire , he redefined an entire nation’s breeding industry. Year after year, his sons and daughters dominated. Deep Impact. Hat Trick. Zenno Rob Roy. The list never ends. His blood flows through the veins of Japan’s greatest.
When he died in 2002, aged just 16, they buried him beneath a cherry blossom tree at Shadai Stallion Station. Thousands came to mourn.
Because Sunday Silence didn’t just win races.
He changed destinies.
He built an empire , from the shadows.
