Shadai Stallion Station stood Sunday Silence, winner of the 1989 Kentucky Derby (G1), Preakness (G1) and Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1) and Japan’s leading stallion for 13 years.

Shadai Stallion Station is home to some 30 stallions, including 2002 Kentucky Derby winner War Emblem and Sunday Silence’s son Deep Impact. Katsumi Yoshida bred Deep Impact, a two-time Horse of the Year in Japan and a leading sire in that country.

Northern Farm bred 2014 Japan Cup (G1) winner Epiphaneia. The farm also bred the colt’s dam, Cesario (JPN), winner of the 2007 American Oaks Invitational (G1) at Hollywood Park. U. Carrot Farm raced both horses.
