2001 Bay Gelding (trained by
Alan King)
by Sillery (USA) ex Flabbergasted (IRE)
Silencio winning at Chepstow
Quite simply one of the toughest horses in training. After
winning four races on the bounce as a juvenile he fractured his
seasimoid at home and was put out of action for over a year. We
didn’t think he would come back from that but did when running Nippy
Des Mottes close at Wincanton 18 months later.He then had a
tendon injury but, yet again, defied the vets to bounce back when
winning at Chepstow & running an excellent 3rd at Cheltenham in a
hot race. Since then he’s injured himself at home once more, this
time cracking his cannon bone. However he has fought back again & is
now training with enthusiasm. Remarkable!
He should be ready in late December to resume his career over
hurdles or maybe even fences. Rated 130 over hurdles he is clearly a
very talented horse who, touch wood, jumps superbly.
