Brought a tear to my eye

A champion in every sense of the word. May god shine on Silent Witness and let him live a fantastic life after racing. Hes earned it.

Great career for a great horse.

Thanks for posting that.

I always admired Archie DeSilva and the way they managed the horse, also how outspoken he was about the greatness of his champion. I remember a few years back they wanted to match race Ghostzapper, would have been awesome.

Farewell to a great horse.

this horse is so cool...I don't really follow international racing but I recall making a special effort to watch his races when he was on that crazy streak a few years back...I'm glad he's getting a happy home for retirement.
