Strengths: Excellent middle-distance runner, he set the pace in last year’s BC Mile and was beaten less than five lengths despite a bobble at the start. He possesses top-class tactical speed on the grass and is now in the care of Hall of Fame trainer Bobby Frankel.
Weaknesses: Silent Name has been away since July and had made only five starts since last year’s Breeders’ Cup. He’s just 1-for-8 around 2 turns in domestic stakes races, and hasn’t won such an assignment since April of 2006.
In the Genes: Son of 1989 Breeders' Cup Classic, Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner Sunday Silence, who went on to a dominant stallion career in Japan. Dam, Danzigaway, was a French G3 winner and half-sister to French G2 winner Gold Away.
Status: After one more outing in 2007 (G1 Citation H. at Hollywood Park Nov. 23), he will be sent to Adena Springs, near Paris, Ky., to begin a stud career. His booking will be $7,500.
Bet You Didn’t Know: Silent Name and Sundrop are the only two Japanese-bred runners ever to compete in the Breeders' Cup. Both were sired by Sunday Silence.
