El Condor Pasa was considered by many to be the greatest Japanese racehorse of the 20th century. He was retired to Shadai Stallion Station in 2000 where he would sire several GI winners on both dirt and turf. He tragically passed away at age 7 in 2002 after two seasons at stud.
Despite the loss, El Condor Pasa returned home in triumph, being crowned both Champion Older Horse and Horse of the Year. He was given a Timeform rating of 136 for his performance, the highest of any Japanese horse all-time (tied with Equinox in 2023).
He would later stand at Breeders' Stallion Station and Big Red Farm (where he would spend the rest of his life). He sired several GI winners including Screen Hero, Earnestly and Seiun Wonder. Grass Wonder was pensioned in 2020 and would pass away at the age of 30 in 2025.
