The rise of Sunday Silence

[Flanders]

I wonder what the strike rate is for Agnes Gold to Redattore mares. Seems to be a potent cross.

You can use Equineline's Free 5x Pedigree to see that. Either putting in a real horse from that cross or doing hypothetical and using the stallion over a mare by the other stallion, make sure you have Interactive Nicking box checked, I always leave the TrueNicks box checked but it will only return results for stallions that are subscribed to TrueNicks. Then you have to tell them you aren't a robot. The info shows up below the pedigree.

6 Redattore mares have been bred to Agnes Gold to produce 12 foals of racing age, 11 starters, 10 winners, 3 SWs(25%), $296,815 earnings, AEI 2.70

Thanks. Looks like the cross is productive.

Thanks Flanders.
I believe that the Agnes Gold x Redattore cross is very productive as 2.70 is a very good score as AEI and 10/11 winners/starters is excellent.

I've looked into AEI numbers of other major crosses with Agnes Gold that produced considerable number of progeny.

Agnes Gold(JPN) x Wild Event(BRZ) = AEI 2.20 , 25/29 winners/starters
Agnes Gold(JPN) x Roi Normand(USA) = AEI 1.55 , 24/29 winners/starters
Agnes Gold(JPN) x Northern Afleet(USA) = AEI 2.40 , 13/17 winners/starters
Agnes Gold(JPN) x Crimson Tide(IRE) = AEI 2.88 , 10/12 winners/starters
Agnes Gold(JPN) x Redattore(BRZ) = AEI 2.70 , 10/11 winners/starters

You are welcome, brunanas!
And I have a question for you.
Is Notavel Surena, the broodmare of the year by Redattore, still breeding?
If she is, I hope she will be bred to Ivar!!!!

Thanks so much for the updates, brunanas!!
Raptor's(BRZ) already earned an automatic berth to the BC Turf when he won the G1 Grande Premio Brasil, didn't he?
So, Hat Trick(JPN) could be represented by two BC starters this year at Santa Anita in Raptor's and Macadamia(BRZ)!!!

And I'm glad to hear that Notavel Sureña(BRZ)(Redattore) is still producing.
Here's hoping her owner will choose Ivar(BRZ)(Agnes Gold) even if he is standing at stud in Argentina.
(I have absolutely no idea if sending a broodmare from Brazil to Argentina for breeding is realistic, though...)

yes, it was an WAYI!
from what i usually see when checking the Argentinian studbook — most mares covered by Argentinian stallions are also based in Argentina. it seems that Notavel Sureña has also been covered exclusively by Brazilian-based sires. but who knows?! maybe! it's realistic imo, not much different from sending mares around Europe to be bred.
