Japanese champion miler Hat Trick (Jpn) (Sunday Silence-Tricky Code, by Lost Code) has died aged 19 in Brazil. The news was first reported by Turf Diario.
The winner of the G1 Mile Championship in Japan and the G1 Hong Kong Mile, Hat Trick was based for most of his stud career in the U.S., starting out at Walmac International before relocating to Gainesway, where he stood for five years before being sold to South America, to where he had already been shuttling, in 2017. Hat Trick is best known for siring the G1 Prix Morny winner and good French sire Dabirsim (Fr) and the GI Jamaica H. victor King David, as well as four South American Group 1 winners. His pattern race winners also include the GII John Henry Turf Championship winner Bright Thought; GII Nassau S. winner Secret Message; and German Group 3 winner Peace In Motion.
