Silencio tends to get headstrong when he's on the track. He has an overwhelming desire to run. Around the barns, he's a goof and enjoys playing jokes on everybody within sight. He's also a smart colt, able to get out of his stall and go visit the ladies at the other side of the barn. He's hard to handle under saddle, and has his off days when his headstrong personality decides to take over. None the less, he has a racer's winning spirit and will always try to take it far. When he races you can tell he's analyzing the field, his eyes as dark as his coat as he eagerly plans out his strategy. When the gates open he'll either break a bit slower so he can close from the outside, or he'll break fast and stalk the three front runners, leading the pack; it all depends on what he thinks would work best against the field. His strides are ground-eating, making him a suitable choice for races a mile or longer, and even though he runs his absolute best on the turf he enjoys the dirt as well.

Silencio has proven himself through races that he possesses unacknowledged talent. We have decided, now that he is five, to retire him. He will stand for stud duties for two months and then begin training for eventing, which he will start showing in when he turns six. The racing team will greatly miss Silencio. He brought a lot to our racing string.
