Badge of Silver was such an awesome talent.

Here's his career form: http://www.airdriestud.com/pdf/badge_pp.pdf


Even the almost impossible to impress Steve Haskin had nice things to say about him...

Quote:
BADGE OF SILVER first burst on to the national stage when winning his first three races by a combined 26 lengths and becoming the early favorite for the Kentucky Derby. His third win, a spectacular 10 length romp in the G3 Risen Star Stakes, earned him a 108 Beyer speed figure and verbal accolades from the sport's most knowledgeable horsemen. Following the race, Steve Haskin of the Blood-Horse wrote: "If there is the proverbial "Freak" then this is the one....to say he's been brilliant would be a gross understatement." Unfortunately throat surgery derailed BADGE OF SILVER's triple crown chances.
