Ouija Board is third. (http://japanracing.jp/_news2006/pdf/061126-02.pdf)

Six of the runner's were sired by Sunday Silence.

Sunday is the man, or should I say sire in Japan.

It's a shame we never got to see Sunday Silence run on turf. Hmmmmn

Not if it would have cut back on his dirt races.

I wonder if CW even considered it.

Probably not, it wouldn't make any sense financially in this country.

Some race. Personally thought Ouija Board was at least the 2nd best there if not the best. Take really boxed her in and then looked like he cut her off a couple times delaying her run. The blocking was hard to see though as the camera angle switched right at that point, though all of a sudden Deep Impact had moved way outside as if he was countering the same move by Ouija Board. Of course there would be no way Deep Impact would ever be taken down in such a race. Would cause a national outcry.
