Not sure why selling him is offensive. American breeders were not interested so they sold him to people who were. He was a super influential stallion in Japan and sired one of the best race horses to come from there. He lived on a beautiful farm. Japan is nice.

Mr. Hancock, I fell in love with Sunday Silence and have watched horse racing ever since. I went to Paris Kentucky to see Sunday Silence in the early 90’s but didn’t know what farm he was at. I was fortunate enough to meet one of your farm workers. He told me that Sunday Silence was no longer in Kentucky but he would let me see his sire. He told me if I saw him I would have seen Sunday Silence. I went the next day to Stone farm and saw Halo, Gato del Sol and Northern Baby. Halo was very interesting with his muzzle on and Gato del Sol was one of the sweetest horses I have ever met. Then I went over to Claiborne and fell in love again with the horses there, especially Ferdinand. I also saw Affirmed, Strike the Gold and Cigar in ‘98 when I was on my way to the Kentucky Derby! I love these magnificent animals. Thank you for allowing fans to be able to see them.

[@carlosstevelevine3003]

"Easy Goer and Sunday Silence were the other's double. The two were as close as the fingers of a fist. Both were the living embodiment of what people said when asked which gunfighter was faster: "I’d hate to have to live on the difference." "In the Preakness and Breeders' Cup Classic, rider Pat Day moved down the backside - and then he Remembered he was Pat Day - and then when Day folded up, Day allowed Sunday Silence back in the race. Day moved, and then he gave it back." "In the Preakness, while picking up another cross on his reins, jockey Pat Day appeared to grab too much right line canting Easy Goer's head to the right, and in the end perhaps costing him the race by the flare of a nostril. A classic classic! Everyone will remember the 1989 Preakness and its remarkable stretch duel as long as they live. Sunday Silence and Easy Goer were generosity personified as they battled. No quality of the Thoroughbred is more admired than courage, and these two outstanding horses gave everything they had in the Preakness. There was a winner, but there was no loser. In a duel for the ages, the two greats joined battle, they bounded cheek by jowl to the wire. The two greats even changed leads in unison at the top of the stretch. They ran side by side, head to head, so close together they were brushing again and again, with Easy Goer also brushing the rail and dangerously close to it. A jewel of a duel by a snout."

[@brianoneill5143]

Sunday Silence is my all time favorite. After training he was so excited to get back to the barn he would walk on his hind legs. He was truly special. I can appreciate the Japanese wanting him nevertheless it would have been nice if he stayed here.

[@joannleichliter4308]

Easy Goer was royally bred and did well for himself. I suspect that is why those who prefer him hate Sunday Silence, which should be quite unnecessary. And, yes, I am aware of all of that. In fact, as with Secretariat, the best of any line is actually more often produced on the distaff side. At any rate, it was what it was, and the future can't change it.

No one is taking anything away from Easy Goer who proved to be a top stud and was certainly a game horse with a lot of heart.

[@jock4hire]

That was quite the diatribe. But you don't know what you're talking about. The Vets don't have access to the horses Cart blanche! Charlie Whittingham didn't drug his horses! Many horses ran on Lasix, but his horses weren't drugged. You make it sound like Sunday was a flippin' drug addict. This was not the case. And NY was not the only track where drugs were banned. Back then there were drugs running rampant at every track in the nation. Including all the NY tracks! If you believe NY has ever been a place where the horses run drug free,... then you are uninformed, or very naive. I really am not interested in what you've read about Sunday Silence, or the Vet who may or may not have treated the horses in Whittingham's stable. I don't recall the Vet he had used back then. But I knew Charlie quite well, and he was a great trainer, and a fine human being. They don't come any more honest than he was. He was also a man who truly cared for his horses. It was not all about the money for him. Unless you were there, you don't know what went on in his training stable.

Pretend all you want grow a pair and face the truth. It came from the Man's mouth to Jay Hovdey. Charlie used him knowing his record going back years. When caught he was convicted and banned. Back in the 80's those in the industry knowledgeable of his WORK watched him so when his masking failed he was fined and or suspended and or banned that is why back then in New York he was not allowed on the premises. This is the type of Vet that was linked to good ole CHARLIE. What a waste of time. What ignorance.

Easy Goer's lookalike daughter Relaxing Rhythm won the G-1 Molly Pitcher, et cetera. Easy Goer's lookalike granddaughter Tiz Miz Sue won the G-1 Ogden Phipps, et cetera. And many more. Great Genetics have definitely moved on to new generations for Easy Goer, Sunday Silence and Deep Impact. However, none of these compare to Galileo, Danehill, Sadler's Wells, Northern Dancer, Mr. Prospector, Danzig, Native Dancer, Bold Ruler, Man o' War and some others. Dubawi, Tapit, Curlin, Sea the Stars and Frankel may be on their way to these aforementioned sires above. The great Japanese sires Sunday Silence and Deep Impact both took over from Northern Taste and Tesco Boy as leading sire in the insular, restricted, big fish in small pond Japan. While a few Deep Impact's have had success with G-1 wins in Europe, et cetera, it must be noted that he was bred to the best of the best Coolmore Galileo, Sadler's Wells and Giant's Causeway mares to do so in most cases - and in the other cases he was bred to the best of the best Niarchos family mares who are descendants of the great Miesque. Actually, Sunday Silence himself did not even sire one G-1 winner in all of Europe and the U.S.A., and many attempted to, including Dance Partner, Dance in the Mood, Sundrop, Layman, Keep the Faith, Silent Name, Deep Impact {disqualified from 3rd place finish due to a positive drug test for an illegal drug}, To the Victory, Zenno Rob Roy, Heart's Cry, Sunday Joy, Seven Moons, Negotiator, Wild Sunday and others - All of these sons and daughters of Sunday Silence lost all of their G-1 races in Europe and the U.S.A. The many attempts that have been made to generate Sunday Silence's sire-line outside Japan have had very little to very modest success - sons of Sunday Silence that have stood at stud outside Japan in Europe, Australia and the U.S.A. have had very little to very modest success, including Divine Light, Born King, Keep the Faith, Layman, Tayasu Tsuyoshi, Real Impact, Bubble Gum Fellow, Genuine, Hat Trick, Silent Name, Fuji Kiseki, Fusaichi Zenon, Agnes Gold, Victoire Pisa, Neorealism, Brave Smash, Black Tuxedo, et cetera. Japan's great successes cannot be attributed only because Sunday Silence and Deep Impact. While SS's blood is oversaturated in Japan, some horses without any SS blood have also been leading sires in Japan, including the aforementioned Northern Taste and Tesco Boy, as well as King Kamehameha, Symboli Kris S, Kurofune, Rulership, Harbinger, Sakura Bakushin O, Brian's Time and Lord Kanaloa. Many horses without any SS blood at all have been greats in Japan and worldwide, including all of these G-1 winners: Panthalassa {G-1 Saudi Cup & G-1 Dubai Turf winner}, El Condor Pasa {G-1 winner in Europe}, Taiki Shuttle {G-1 winner in Europe}, Seeking the Pearl {G-1 winner in Europe}, Lord Kanaloa, Vodka, TM Opera O, Jungle Pocket, King Kamehameha, Apapane, Narita Brian, Symboli Kris S, Meisho Samson, Rey de Oro, Agnes Digital, Mayano Top Gun, Air Groove, Grass Wonder, Tap Dance City, Sweep Tosho, Satono Crown, etc etc.

"Racing should be filled with SUPERIOR horses like EASY GOER, who did NOT require ANY drugs to perform at his best, & NOT INFERIOR DRUG-RELIANT horses like SUNDAY SILENCE. Sunday Silence had been TREATED WITH DRUGS, NOTABLY THE PERFORMANCE-ENHANCING DRUG FUROSEMIDE, in the Kentucky Derby, Preakness & Breeders' Cup Classic when narrowly edging Easy Goer, but couldn't for the Belmont Stakes in New York, the one state where all drugs are banned. Easy Goer was free from all of the controversies & debates about drugs, for ALL DRUGS are prohibited in New York, as they are in the rest of the racing world outside the US. The key questions that influenced racing all year was: Could Sunday Silence beat Easy Goer without drugs? Could Sunday Silence win without drugs? He gave definitive & assertive replies to the questions: NO. Sunday Silence struggled home edging Le Voyageur but was thoroughly beaten, as the splendid Easy Goer sprinted off with the Belmont Stakes. Racing should be filled with SUPERIOR horses like EASY GOER, who did NOT require ANY drugs to perform at his best, & NOT INFERIOR DRUG-RELIANT horses like SUNDAY SILENCE, so we focus our attention on the sport instead of drugs. Racing wears drugs like festering, self-inflicted wounds on the end of its nose opened by the ax of greed & stamped with the endorsements of every racing commission in the nation except New York's. Racing's drug dependency, like any drug problem, has become a major problem & tarnished the sport. It is to New York's merit & acclaim that their major races stand as giant hurdles to drug-reliant horses. Winning major races on drugs is not what racing is about." Paul Moran of DRF, News-day & LA Times. Furosemide/Lasix is a potent performance enhancing drug which masks & flushes other banned drugs, plus it reduces body weight by 16 to 25lbs & many studies show Furosemide/Lasix gives a significant 6 to 9 length performance enhancement. Sunday Silence's banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill also ADMITTED to giving sunday silence the immensely effective performance enhancing drugs Clenbuterol, Etorphine & Sublimaze, who benefited immeasurably by all of their incredibly effective performance enhancing effects.

Cancer did not kill EG & would not have been fatal. Plus, Cancer is NOT caused by drug-use, cancer is caused by tobacco use (obviously not in horses), smoking (ditto), excessive alcohol drinking (ditto), bad diet, being overweight (some stallions are overweight), lack of exercise (stallions still get exercise), a number of different infections & viruses (not relating to drugs at all), sexually transmitted diseases (not drugs at all), bacterial (not drugs at all), parasites (not drugs at all), radiation (not relating to drugs at all), inherited genetically (DNA/hereditary/family history of it - not relating to drugs at all), environmental/air pollution/pollutants (not relating to drugs at all), asbestos (not drugs at all) in stables/buildings, too much exposure to direct sunlight/ultraviolet light (not drugs at all) etc. "Horses are exposed to many of the same things as humans so they develop cancer for many of the same reasons. Environmental toxins, second-hand cigarette smoke, radiation, UV rays, pollutants, viral infections, std's, bacterias, parasites, bad diet/food, lack of exercise, being overweight, digestion, all can cause cancer in horses - NONE of which are at all related to any drugs." Plus, cancer did not cause EG's death anyways, an allergic reaction to an airborne allergen caused EG's death. So much for all of that.

He crashed in a transport trailer after being reserved for 32k in California, then vet said he was a wobbler, (basically a vegetable), so his value at that time must have been free.. Then “they say” he was average looking at best, others say he had cow-hocks, that he was temperamental, and was juiced when he won at Santa Anita, Churchill Downs, Pimlico and Gulfstream in the Breeders Cup Classic. You cannot, come up with performances like that without a lot of natural talent and fight. And the caliber of his offspring in Japan show that he passed on his talent, with good overall speed to keep close enough and his will to fight. Legendary Horse any day of the week in my books, I don’t think it really matter where he’s ranked in the big picture, along with Northern Taste by Northern Dancer, Sunday Silence by Halo goes down in history as a genetic giant of the breed in Japan…. And that’s on top of all those amazing races he and (another monster of a colt) Easy Goer gave to us.

Paul Moran of DRF, Newsday & LA Times: "Racing should be filled with SUPERIOR horses like EASY GOER, who did NOT require ANY drugs to perform at his best, & NOT INFERIOR DRUG-RELIANT horses like SUNDAY SILENCE. Sunday Silence had been TREATED WITH DRUGS, NOTABLY THE PERFORMANCE-ENHANCING DRUG FUROSEMIDE, in the Kentucky Derby, Preakness & Breeders' Cup Classic when narrowly edging Easy Goer, but couldn't for the Belmont Stakes in New York, the one state where all drugs are banned. Easy Goer was free from all of the controversies & debates about drugs, for ALL DRUGS are prohibited in New York, as they are in the rest of the racing world outside the US. The key questions that influenced racing all year was: Could Sunday Silence beat Easy Goer without drugs? Could Sunday Silence win without drugs? He gave definitive & assertive replies to the questions: NO. Sunday Silence struggled home edging Le Voyageur but was thoroughly beaten, as the splendid Easy Goer sprinted off with the Belmont Stakes. Racing should be filled with SUPERIOR horses like EASY GOER, who did NOT require ANY drugs to perform at his best, & NOT INFERIOR DRUG-RELIANT horses like SUNDAY SILENCE, so we focus our attention on the sport instead of drugs. Racing wears drugs like festering, self-inflicted wounds on the end of its nose opened by the ax of greed & stamped with the endorsements of every racing commission in the nation except New York's. Racing's drug dependency, like any drug problem, has become a major problem & tarnished the sport. It is to New York's merit & acclaim that their major races stand as giant hurdles to drug-reliant horses. Winning major races on drugs is not what racing is about." Safe to say the True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer was far better & far superior. Period. EG demolished ss when they were forced to run drug-free without any drugs in the only state in the whole country during that era which banned all drugs. EG was the better horse plain & simple. It's the truth based on Harthill's voluntary admission to DRF Hovdey in 01, plus all of the 88-90 DRFs; 2012 NY Post article titled "The 11 horses who missed out on Triple Crown at Belmont" found online; DRF's Mike Watchmaker, Ed Fountaine & Paul Moran; Wikipedias reliable sources; 2 Claiborne books; NY Law; DRF, Bloodhorse & ThorRecord; & mounds more.

He and his sons and daughters have made Japanese racing and breeding into the successful venture that it is today. The Japanese people love their horses and horseracing.

The Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer was such a gift from Gd that he graces the cover of the Book, "A Century of Champions," by Richard Stone Reeves & Ed Bowen. The Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer was such a gift from Gd that in Charles Justice's 'Greatest Horses of All" Book with objective rankings ranked Easy Goer the Greatest 3yo of all time besides Secretariat & ranked EG far far ahead of & far superior to sunday silence. The Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer was so great that Daily Racing Form's dean of racing experts Joe Hirsch said, "Easy Goer MET & FULFILLED the dreams & expectations embodied in his powerful frame, & authored an unforgettable Hall of Fame championship career, & Easy Goer will always be mentioned in the same breath with the GREATEST horses of ALL TIME." The Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer was so great that he was given the ultimate honor of being inducted into the Hall of Fame, & most importantly EG earned it by doing so running drug-free with honor, morality, ethically, honestly, with full integrity, & complete fairness; while the drug-dependent & criminal doper cheater vet Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence did so illegally, unethically, immorally, dishonorably, & dishonestly with illegal performance enhancing drugs (admitted by his vet Alex Harthill). The Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer was so great that Plenty of racing experts ranked the Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer superior & ahead of the drug-dependent & criminal doper juicer vet Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence. The Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer was so great that All speed figures experts (Brown, Ragozin, Beyer, Sheets, Graphs), experts Mike Watchmaker, Steve Crist, Paul Moran, Dave Litfin, Bill Christine, Edwin Pope, etc, ranked EG far ahead of & far superior to ss. The Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer was so great that he ran second-fastest Test of a Champion Belmont Stakes in history behind only Secretariat, & EG ran the fastest mile on dirt by any three-year-old in history in @:2, which was a second faster than Secretariat's record, & one-fifth of a second off the world record of Dr. Fager; & Easy Goer is the only horse in racing history to win the Belmont, Whitney, Travers, Woodward and Jockey Club Gold Cup and the only 3yo to win the Whitney, Woodward and Jockey Club Gold Cup while defeating older horses in the latter 3; & EG ran in the top 5 all time fastest runnings of numerous Drug-Free Championship G1 races at 6.5f, 7f, 1m, 1 1/8m, 1 1/4m & 1 1/2m. The Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer was so great that he was given the honor of occupying the number one stall in the number one barn at Claiborne Farm, previously occupied by Secretariat, Bold Ruler & Buckpasser. The Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer was so great that Timeform racing expert Simon Rowland Timeform Performance Rankings ranked Easy Goer far ahead of & far superior to Sunday Silence, stating. "That the drug-free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer is a superior horse than the drug-dependent & criminal doper juicer vet Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence officially is as clear as day. Ss held the slight 3-1 edge over EG by the slimmest of margins in the races they met, but he never beat him in a way that proved he was just plain better & also left no one thinking they could not easily have gone EG's way. In one of EG's best races, he walloped SS in the only state at the time which banned all drugs (SS needed the drugs, when ss didn't get the drugs he got crushed). Despite Ss's slight 3-1 edge in their races by the nose of his Preakness, Easy Goer's dominance, enormously superior performance ratings/speed figures, vastly superior time ratings, conceding weight while defeating older horses numerous times, & superiority while running far more outstanding performances make his body of work far superior to that of ss. EG was a far superior horse than ss whose best & near best performances were far superior to those of ss. There are alternatives to the attempt to define racehorses by a few head to head races, to give greater coverage to the array of performances. A fuller picture allows all to weigh everything. A vital way is to consider what would happen if many races were to take place, w/ each horses effort picked at random from their historical performances/performance ratings over a timescale. If you repeat this, you get a reflection of how often each horse would actually win based on the horses performances (all of them, not just the peak ones). For this, you take the horses array of performances. If you run every possible permutation of the races, sampling from each horse’s array of performances, you get in excess of 100 races. & it is Easy Goer who wins 69% of them. The reason: Many, many more of EG's wins were outstanding on Timeform performance ratings & time figures. EG, who won many more great races by sizeable margins & in faster times, also ran a much larger amount of elite performances than ss. The enduring message is to see that an array of outstanding performances gives a much fuller picture of horses & reflects things like the number of times elite levels have been reached. Other than SS's slightest of edges in head to head races, Easy Goer was superior than SS in almost all other factors. That the Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer is a superior horse than the drug-reliant & criminal juicer doper veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant ss officially is as clear as day."

In the Test of the Champion drug-free Belmont Stakes Easy Goer killed ss; like heart-filled drug-free wheat separating from heart-less drugged chaff, the heart-filled drug-free cream rose to the top. Easy Goer ran drug-free in the only state in the entire country at the time which banned all drugs, which banned all performance enhancing drugs; while the drug-reliant & criminal juicer doper veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant ss got exposed badly & romped when he was forced to run drug-free with no-drugs at all. The great drug-free Hall of Fame champion Easy Goer showed the world how to obliterate the drug-reliant ss. The litmus test of a champion is running & winning drug-free without any performance enhancing drugs; & during that era New York was the only state in the entire country that banned all drugs. Plus, as importantly, New York banned & didn't allow the criminal juicer doper veterinarian of ss Alex Harthill [arrested an endless amount of times for illegally doping/juicing an endless amount of horses] to perform his magic & juice the drug-reliant & criminal juicer doper veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant ss. During that era, it was a huge credit to NY [& the rest of the whole world] that the endless amount of their championship G1 races stood as humongous, gigantic obstacles to drug-dependent horses like ss; & these horses, like ss & many others, got exposed badly when they were forced to run drug-free with no-drugs at all. ONLY no-drugs drug-free races were/are true championship races. Only the drug-free no-drugs races could/can be called championship races. No-drug races kept/keep the outcomes crystal clear. No-drug races are the only true tests of champions. That is integrity, honesty, fair play & complete fairness for all. The drug-free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer was the better horse than the drug-reliant & criminal juicer doper veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant ss. In the drug-free EG's few very slim losses by the narrowest of margins to the drug-reliant ss, ss needed all of his performance enhancing drugs administered to him & still only beat him by the slimmest of margins. Plus, The drug-free Easy Goer won G1 races at 7f, 1 mile, 9f, 10f & 12f drug-free with much less time & rest between races & ran many more races at more fluctuating, different distances in faster times with far superior speed figures & performance ratings; while the drug-reliant ss only won G1 races at 9f to 10f with his ped drugs & much more time & rest between races & ran far less races. And most importantly, Alex Harthill confessed to illegally giving illicit, illegal performance enhancing drugs (remarkable ped drug Clenbuterol) to ss.

Easy Goer 14, SS 0 ; EG 1, ss 0 are the TRUE FINAL SCORES. Of course scoreboards, scores & numbers LIE & DON'T TELL the TRUTH when it is carried out illegally with performance enhancing drugs. The very slight 3-1 edge (attained ILLEGALLY by ss by the slimmest of margins; Harthill admitted he gave the illegal performance enhancing drugs Clenbuterol, Sublimaze & Etorphine to ss) means as much or as little as Noor 4, Citation 1; Beau Purple 3, Kelso 1; Alsab 2, Whirlaway 1; Big Spruce 2, Forego 1; Wajima 2, Forego 1; Cabrini Green 4, John Henry 0; Darby Creek Road 3, John Henry 0; Gallant Bloom 4, Shuvee 1; Damascus 2, Dr Fager 2; Akureyri 3, Pleasant Colony 1; Formal Gold 4, Skip Away 2; Billy Kelly 8, Sir Barton 4; Summer Squall 4, Unbridled 2; Bayern 2, California Chrome 1; Star of Cozzene 3, Kotashaan 1; & an endless amount of others. It was all attained ILLEGALLY by ss - the illegal criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill of the drug-reliant ss admitted to illegally giving illegal performance enhancing drugs (Clenbuterol, Sublimaze, Etorphine, etc) to ss. "That the drug-free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer was the superior horse than the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant ss is officially as clear as day." In the Test of the Champion drug-free Belmont Stakes Easy Goer killed ss; like wheat separating from chaff, the cream rose to the top. Easy Goer ran drug-free in the only state in the entire country at the time which banned all drugs, which banned all performance enhancing drugs; while the drug-reliant & illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant ss got exposed badly & romped when he was forced to run drug-free with no-drugs at all. The Litmus Test of a Champion is running & winning drug-free without any performance enhancing drugs; & during that era New York was the only state in the entire country that banned all drugs. Plus, as importantly, NY banned the illegal criminal vet of ss Alex Harthill [arrested an endless amount of times for illegally drugging an endless amount of horses]. During that era, it was a huge credit to NY [& the rest of the whole world] that the endless amount of their championship G1 races stood as gigantic obstacles to drug-reliant horses like ss; & these horses, like ss & many others, got exposed badly when they were forced to run drug-free with no-drugs at all. ONLY no-drugs races were/are true championship races. Only no-drugs races could/can be called championship races. Only No-drugs races kept/keep the outcomes crystal clear. No-drugs races are the only true tests of champions. That is integrity, honesty, fair play & complete fairness for all. In the drug-free EG's few very slim losses by the narrowest of margins to the drug-reliant ss, ss needed all of his performance enhancing drugs administered to him & still only beat him by the slimmest of margins. Plus, The drug-free Easy Goer won G1 races at 7f, 1 mile, 9f, 10f & 12f drug-free with much less time & rest between races & ran many more races at more fluctuating, different distances in faster times with far superior speed figures & performance ratings; while the drug-reliant ss only won G1 races at 9f to 10f with his ped drugs & much more time & rest between races & ran far less races. And most importantly, Alex Harthill confessed to illegally giving illegal performance enhancing drugs (Clenbuterol, Etorphine, Sublimaze, etc) to ss. Harthill confessed to DRF's Hovdey of illegally giving illegal ped drugs (Clenbuterol, Sublimaze, Etorphine, etc) to ss; but he couldn't do so in the only state (NY) in the whole country at the time which banned all drugs, & as importantly also banned ss's illegal vet Harthill as well. The criminal vet of ss, Alex Harthill, confessed to illegally administering illegal ped drugs to sunday silence (plus many other horses), including the significantly powerful potent performance enhancing drug Clenbuterol (an extraordinary drug with 2 completely different effects that dramatically & greatly enhance performance & significantly enhance speed, stamina, endurance, lung capacity & energy levels; it greatly aids breathing by significantly expanding the air passages in the lungs letting air flow much more freely, & it causes rapid fat burning significantly decreasing fat; it also has a similar effect on the body as Epinephrine & Amphetamines by increasing the production of Epinephrine & Noradrenaline, & thus significantly enhancing performance: it also thins blood & widens the vessels that carry oxygen, so the volume of oxygen in the blood increases, & thus significantly increases energy, & thus significantly enhances performance), Sublimaze (A Potent Narcotic So powerful that it makes horses feel like they don't even have legs, & significantly more powerful than aspirin bute) & Etorphine (An Opiate 80,000 Times More Powerful than Morphine - So powerful that it also makes horses feel like they don't even have legs, & significantly more powerful than aspirin bute). Besides Harthill admitting it, there is the CERTAINTY of MOUNDS of more evidence regarding Harthill's illegalities. Harthill only admitted to administering the illegal ped drugs Clenbuterol, Sublimaze & Etorphine to Sunday Silence, & not Banamine (5 times more powerful than aspirin bute) & Lasix (which were legal in every state in the US except NY back then anyways; but ss was listed as being administered Lasix & Banamine in the DRF in all races outside drug-free NY); & it should also be noted Lasix is a potent diuretic & the main drug which masks & flushes other banned drugs; plus it reduces body weight by 16 to 25lbs, & the study of 23k races showed Lasix gives a significant 6 length performance enhancement.

[@selfcaresally]

The things that always inspired me about SS were his grit, his spunk, and intelligence (which poor horsemen often call “crazy”). He was alert and responsive, had good steering and brakes, and didn’t back down from intimidating situations… he was a real survivor. And that’s apparently what he’s passing on to his offspring, unlike the products of “blue-blooded” American breeding programs whose perfect legs are breaking on the regular.

The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer was the better horse plain and simple. The drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence wasn't as great as the True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer. SS's vet Alex Harthill told all how & why the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence beat the True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer by the slimmest of margins in a few races. Harthill said, "You can only REVERE the horses (Easy Goer, etc) whom my horses (Sunday Silence, etc) defeated even more, to do all they (Easy Goer, etc) were asked to do, just to fall a slight bit short (Easy Goer, etc) of horses (Sunday Silence, etc) who had been given performance-enhancing drugs (Sunday Silence, etc) by myself." The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer cremated the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence when ss was forced to run drug-free without any drugs in the only state in the entire country at the time which banned all drugs, & as importantly also banned ss's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well. DRF 2001 article titled: "Kentucky Derby Doctor Alex Harthill Reveals Disgraceful Past: Harthill Reflects on Unlawful Life's Work. Harthill Discloses He Administered Forbidden Performance-Enhancing Drugs To Many American Classic Winners In The Kentucky Derby, Preakness And Breeders' Cup Classic." How about the Belmont Stakes & the enormous amount of the other major G1 stakes races in New York? How about when the Breeders Cup took place in NY? Harthill was barred in NY. NY also was the only state in the entire country during that era which banned all drugs. NY also had the most advanced out-of-competition, training & raceday testing, & tested for an enormous amount of drugs. DRF 2001 Jay Hovdey article: "Alex Harthill was BOLD ENOUGH to tell me (Jay Hovdey/DRF) how he illegally gave numerous horses illegal drugs, INCLUDING Clenbuterol, Sublimaze & Etorphine TO SUNDAY SILENCE. Harthill ADMITTED to illegally breaking the laws in ENHANCING his horses PERFORMANCES. Harthill ADMITTED to illegally using the immensely effective performance enhancing Bronchodilator drug Clenbuterol REGULARLY in the 1980's on his horses, 15 years before it was approved by the FDA, INCLUDING USING IT ON SUNDAY SILENCE. Harthill introduced the incredibly effective performance enhancing drug Clenbuterol in the 1980's & illegally administered it TO SUNDAY SILENCE, who benefited immeasurably by its immensely effective performance enhancing effects. Some of Harthill's other drugs that HE ADMINISTERED TO SUNDAY SILENCE were Etorphine & Sublimaze. The drug Clenbuterol has a similar effect on the body as Epinephrine & Amphetamines by increasing the production of Epinephrine & Noradrenaline, & thus significantly enhancing performance. Clenbuterol also thins blood & widens the vessels that carry oxygen, so the volume of oxygen in the blood increases, & thus significantly increases energy, & thus significantly enhances performance. Clenbuterol is an extraordinary drug with 2 completely different effects that dramatically & greatly enhance performance, & significantly enhance speed, stamina, endurance, lung capacity & energy levels; it greatly aids breathing by significantly expanding the air passages in the lungs letting air flow much more freely, & it dramatically reduces body fat by causing rapid fat burning. The drug Clenbuterol performed miracles for horses who made inexplicable improvements with major enhancements in performance. Etorphine is an Opiate 80,000 Times More Powerful than Morphine. Sublimaze is a potent narcotic. The drugs Etorphine & Sublimaze are drugs that give horses such a sense of euphoria & well-being that they feel like they don’t have legs. The drugs Harthill administered were being used to improve a horse's performance, & they were REMARKABLY EFFECTIVE. Harthill was the vet that manipulated horse races & he Publicly Acknowledged Doing So many times. The US DEA filed suit against Alex Harthill on 102 charges of possessing & using unusual quantities of these & other drugs. Alex Harthill & drugs have led to the destruction of integrity in racing. Harthill was at the vanguard of giving drugs to horses that were used to vastly enhance their performances, & they were remarkably effective turning good horses into great horses, bad horses into good horses, slower horses into faster horses, horses with no business winning doing so, & causing horses to run far over their heads. Harthill was a vet who had stolen a 30 length lead in the race to discover drugs that would significantly move up racehorses, & Harthill had no hesitancy in using whatever was available. Harthill was a magic man vet practicing the dark arts of racehorse manipulation. Harthill was arrested many times for tampering, bribery & doping horses with drugs. Alex Harthill did more cheating with drugs to win horse races than any vet in history. Harthill's innovation in this area got him arrested many times for illegally injecting horses with numerous drugs & for public bribery. Harthill bribed state officials to throw away positive drug tests from horses that he had treated, & lost his license in many states. Harthill was the vet that manipulated horse races & he Publicly Acknowledged Doing So many times. Harthill was the most important factor in countless outcomes of numerous races. Harthill made Bob Baffert, Rick Dutrow, etc., look like Altar Boys." Harthill said, 'I was used for horses pointing for, & running in, MAJOR RACES who NEEDED DRUGS & had INFIRMITIES. I earned the reputation I had. I am very proud of the horses I helped WITH DRUGS IN THEIR CAREERS. Drugs always go through changing stages of being detected on drug tests. What I focused on was what drugs enhanced performance, together with what drugs could conceal illegal drugs, along with what drugs didn't show up on drug tests. For these reasons, I gave my horses a considerable advantage. Trainers would say, Don't get me caught, but keep me worried. Even though a horse is 5 or 7 times larger than humans, the amount of dope needed to have an effect is so small. An amount on the tip of a match would be enough to flick up a horse's nose to get a spectacular result. By the time they got my horses to the starting gate they’d be leaping out of their skin. I administered illegal drugs throughout my career that INCREASED the performances of racehorses IN CLASSIC RACES, & almost all of the time I did so, my horses won. You can only revere the horses whom my horses defeated even more, to do all they were asked to do, just to fall a slight bit short of horses who had been given performance-enhancing drugs by myself. By doing so, I acknowledge that I effectively stole a large amount of money in my career, & cheated many other horses, trainers, owners & riders I competed against. Nonetheless, I consider my extensive doping as a mark of pride.' " Besides Harthill admitting it, there is the CERTAINTY of MOUNDS of more evidence regarding Harthill's illegalities. It should also be noted Lasix is a potent diuretic & the main drug which masks & flushes other banned drugs; plus it reduces body weight by 16 to 25lbs, & the study of 23k races shows Lasix gives a significant 6 to 9 length performance enhancement. It's the truth based on Alex Harthill's voluntary admission to DRF Hovdey in 2001, plus all of the 88-90 DRF & FIGS Forms; 2012 NY Post article titled "The 11 horse who missed out on Triple Crown at Belmont" found on the web; DRF's Mike Watchmaker, Ed Fountaine & Paul Moran; Wikipedia articles with many reliable sources cited; 2 Claiborne Farm books; KY Law; NY Law; DRF, Bloodhorse & Thor.

Claiborne Farm's Gus Koch. McGaughey stated, "Easy Goer had these issues, but he had such an outstanding way of going that he'd glide so smoothly. The issues didn't really bother him, he was so muscular, strong & competitive, he'd run through brick walls, & I never ran him on any medications. He never needed them." Seth Hancock of Claiborne Farm said, "One of the many claims to fame for Easy Goer is, in an era of vast legal & illegal drug use, he ran his entire career drug-free in 20 starts for a total of well over 20 miles of racing." The Truth is, the True Facts are the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence was given with the powerful illegal performance enhancing drugs Clenbuterol (an extraordinarily powerful performance enhancing drug), Sublimaze (an extraordinarily powerful performance enhancing drug; & significantly more powerful than aspirin bute) & Etorphine (an extraordinarily powerful performance enhancing drug; & significantly more powerful than aspirin bute), plus the powerful performance enhancing diuretic drug Furosemide/Lasix (6 length performance enhancement at longer, classic distances) & Banamine (5 times more powerful than aspirin bute), etc etc. Harthill admitted he gave the illegal performance enhancing drugs Clenbuterol, Sublimaze & Etorphine to sunday silence.

And most importantly, Alex Harthill confessed to illegally giving illegal performance enhancing drugs to ss.

Sunday Silence's veterinarian Alex Harthill ADMITTED to illegally breaking the laws in enhancing his horses performances. Sunday Silence's veterinarian Alex Harthill ADMITTED to illegally using the immensely effective performance enhancing bronchodilator Clenbuterol regularly in the 1980's, 15 years before it was approved by the FDA, on his horses, INCLUDING using it on sunday silence. Sunday Silence's vet Alex Harthill introduced the incredibly effective performance enhancing bronchodilator Clenbuterol in the 1980's & illegally administered it to Sunday Silence, who benefited immeasurably by its immensely effective performance enhancing effects. The drug Clenbuterol has a similar effect on the body as epinephrine and amphetamines by increasing the production of epinephrine and noradrenaline, and thus significantly enhancing performance. Clenbuterol also thins blood and widens the vessels that carry oxygen, so the volume of oxygen in the blood increases, and thus significantly increases energy, and thus significantly enhances performance; plus clenbuterol dramatically reduces body fat by causing rapid fat burning. The drug Clenbuterol performed miracles for horses who made inexplicable improvements with major enhancements in performance. Some of Harthill's other favorite magic making performance enhancing drugs that he administered were Etorphine (infinitely more powerful than the aspirin-like bute), Banamine (5 times more powerful than the aspirin-like bute) and Sublimaze. The drugs Etorphine and Sublimaze are drugs that give horses such a sense of euphoria and well-being that they feel like they don’t have legs. The US Drug Enforcement Administration filed suit against Alex Harthill on 102 charges of possessing and using unusual quantities of these and other drugs, such as the powerful performance enhancing bronchodilator Clenbuterol, powerful steroids, loop diuretics, extremely powerful painkillers, and very strong amphetamines, etc. Alex Harthill and drugs have led to the destruction of integrity in North American racing. Harthill was at the vanguard of giving drugs to horses that were used to vastly enhance their performances, and they were remarkably effective turning good horses into great horses, bad horses into good horses, slower horses into faster horses, horses with no business winning doing so, and causing horses to run far over their heads. Harthill was a vet who had stolen a 30 length lead in the race to discover drugs that would significantly move up racehorses, and Harthill had no hesitancy in using whatever was available. Harthill was a magic man vet practicing the dark arts of racehorse manipulation. Harthill was arrested many times (Kentucky, Illinois, Louisiana, NY,etc) for tampering, bribery and doping horses with drugs. Sunday Silence's vet Alex Harthill did more cheating with drugs to win horse races than any vet in history." Besides Harthill admitting it to the DRF, there is the CERTAINTY of MOUNDS of more evidence regarding Harthill's illegalities. History and facts. Case closed!

The only reason old Charlie brought S.S. to New York is the Triple Crown and when his performance enhancing drug dealing Vet was banned from N.Y. he was fuming but fooled HIMSELF in believing he can still win without the juice. He was exposed. All this time when they met it was Clean VS DIRTY until they met in New York the truth was on the racetrack that day. Ignore it this DISGRACEFUL attempt was thievery and criminal.

Alex Harthill told all how & why the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence beat the True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer by the slimmest of margins in a few races. Harthill said, "You can only REVERE the horses (Easy Goer, etc) whom my horses (Sunday Silence, etc) defeated even more, to do all they (Easy Goer, etc) were asked to do, just to fall a slight bit short (Easy Goer, etc) of horses (Sunday Silence, etc) who had been given performance-enhancing drugs (Sunday Silence, etc) by myself." It's the truth based on Alex Harthill's voluntary admission to DRF Hovdey in 2001, plus all of the 88-90 DRF & FIGS Forms; 2012 NY Post article titled "The 11 horse who missed out on Triple Crown at Belmont" found on the web; DRF's Mike Watchmaker, Ed Fountaine & Paul Moran; Wikipedia articles with many reliable sources cited; 2 Claiborne Farm books; KY Law; NY Law; DRF, Bloodhorse & Thor. Record/Times; & mounds more. 120% TRUTH. The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer cremated the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence when ss was forced to run drug-free without any drugs in the only state in the entire country at the time which banned all drugs, & as importantly also banned ss's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well. "Kentucky Derby Doctor Alex Harthill Reveals Disgraceful Past: Harthill Reflects on Unlawful Life's Work. Harthill Discloses He Administered Forbidden Performance-Enhancing Drugs To Many American Classic Winners In The Kentucky Derby, Preakness And Breeders' Cup Classic." How about the Belmont Stakes & the enormous amount of the other major G1 stakes races in New York? How about when the Breeders Cup took place in NY? Harthill was barred in NY. NY also was the only state in the entire country during that era which banned all drugs. NY also had the most advanced out-of-competition, training & raceday testing, & tested for an enormous amount of drugs. DRF 2001 Jay Hovdey: "Alex Harthill was BOLD ENOUGH to tell me (Jay Hovdey/DRF) how he illegally gave numerous horses illegal drugs, INCLUDING Clenbuterol, Sublimaze & Etorphine TO SUNDAY SILENCE. Harthill ADMITTED to illegally breaking the laws in ENHANCING his horses PERFORMANCES. Harthill ADMITTED to illegally using the immensely effective performance enhancing Bronchodilator drug Clenbuterol REGULARLY in the 1980's on his horses, 15 years before it was approved by the FDA, INCLUDING USING IT ON SUNDAY SILENCE. Harthill introduced the incredibly effective performance enhancing drug Clenbuterol in the 1980's & illegally administered it TO SUNDAY SILENCE, who benefited immeasurably by its immensely effective performance enhancing effects. Some of Harthill's other drugs that HE ADMINISTERED TO SUNDAY SILENCE were Etorphine & Sublimaze. The drugs Harthill administered were being used to improve a horse's performance, & they were REMARKABLY EFFECTIVE. Harthill was the vet that manipulated horse races & he Publicly Acknowledged Doing So many times. Harthill said, 'I (Harthill) was used for horses (Sunday Silence, etc) pointing for, & running in, MAJOR RACES who NEEDED DRUGS & had INFIRMITIES. I earned the reputation I had. I am very proud of the horses (Sunday Silence, etc) I helped WITH DRUGS IN THEIR CAREERS. Drugs always go through changing stages of being detected on drug tests. What I focused on was what drugs enhanced performance, together with what drugs could conceal illegal drugs, along with what drugs didn't show up on drug tests. For these reasons, I gave my horses (Sunday Silence, etc) a considerable advantage. Trainers would say, Don't get me caught, but keep me worried. Even though a horse is 5 or 7 times larger than humans, the amount of dope needed to have an effect is so small. An amount on the tip of a match would be enough to flick up a horse's nose to get a spectacular result. By the time they got my horses to the starting gate they’d be leaping out of their skin. I administered illegal drugs throughout my career that INCREASED the performances of racehorses IN CLASSIC RACES, & almost all of the time I did so, my horses won. You can only revere the horses (Easy Goer, etc) whom my horses (Sunday Silence, etc) defeated even more, to do all they (Easy Goer, etc) were asked to do, just to fall a slight bit short (Easy Goer, etc) of horses (Sunday Silence, etc) who had been given performance-enhancing drugs (Sunday Silence, etc) by myself. By doing so, I acknowledge that I effectively stole a large amount of money in my career, & cheated many other horses, trainers, owners & riders I competed against. Nonetheless, I consider my extensive doping as a mark of pride.' "

"The use & abuse of drugs disgraced & dishonored the year of Sunday Silence. All should not bestow honors on drug-dependent horses. Even trainer Charlie Whittingham acknowledged his colt's impediments, & didn't run him in the Travers Stakes in view of the fact that he wouldn't have been able to utilize drugs there in New York. Sunday Silence, & many other horses, would never have made it minus drugs. Sunday Silence is a drug-dependent horse. ALL of his races IN 1989, EXCEPT the Belmont Stakes in New York, came with the benefit of various drugs, INCLUDING the diuretic DRUG FUROSEMIDE, which is a performance enhancer in many ways & can flush & mask the presence of many other illegal drugs in drug tests. Sunday Silence required the assistance of drugs to WIN his races, while he sustained a MONUMENTAL LOSS when he wasn't able to use the drugs. Because of Sunday Silence's advantage of drugs, all call into question his accomplishments as a horse. Sunday Silence, like Sunny's Halo, Spend a Buck, Gate Dancer & Wild Again before him, is a classic, illustrative example of why drugs & racing don't merge, especially at the sport's highest level. After his narrow drug-aided wins in the Kentucky Derby & Preakness, Sunday Silence went to New York in search of winning the Belmont Stakes & the Triple Crown. Because New York doesn't allow horses to run on any drugs -it's the only jurisdiction in America that doesn't-the suspicion was whether he could win without being given the drugs. It was a distressingly captivating matter in question, which served to remove the Triple Crown of the excitement & allure it has always had. Sunday Silence got overwhelmed in the Belmont, finishing a widening 8 lengths behind Easy Goer. Sunday Silence required the assistance of drugs to WIN his races, while he sustained a monumental loss when he wasn't able to use the drugs. Even trainer Charlie Whittingham acknowledged his colt's impediments, & didn't run him in the Travers Stakes in view of the fact that he wouldn't have been able to utilize drugs there in New York. No wonder so many in New York condemn the usage of drugs. Sunday Silence, & many other horses, would never have made it minus drugs. The use & abuse of drugs disgraced & dishonored the year of Sunday Silence. All should not bestow honors on drug-dependent horses." DRF Jan 90 Mike Watchmaker.
