Shadai Farm-based son of Sunday Silence retires from stud duties at the age of 20

Japanese champion sire Heart's Cry (Sunday Silence) has been retired from stud duties at the age of 20.

The Shadai Farm-based sire has produced 51 satkes winners to date, with ten of those winning at Group / Grade 1 level including Cox Plate (Gr 1, 2040m) winner Lys Gracieux. He is now making a name for himself as a broodmare sire, with last year's Blue Diamond Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m) winner Tagaloa (Lord Kanaloa) being out of one of his daughters.  

Bred by Shadai Farm, Heart's Cry stood for a private fee this year.
