Here is a link to the introduction of Nakayama Racecourse, created by the JRA, although it may be difficult to understand since it is in Japanese.

This racetrack is featured by the small right-handedness of the corners.
Another important feature is that the home stretch is short and there is a slope in front of the finish-line.
Therefore, it is a racetrack that requires good cornering and the power to go up the last slope.
His uncle Narita Top Road, on the contrary, was not good at Nakayama Racecourse.
He was the last G1 winner of Sunday Silence’s crops.

As stallion

His crops grow so fast that they win much by the age of 2 to 3 years old in the spring.
There are no G1 winners, but there are some G2 or G3 winners.
