It has recently been confirmed Sillenia will be defending her title in the Breeders Cup Filly and Mare Turf this year. Jockey Krystal Yhate claims that she will be one of two SOPS horses sent to this race. She refused to comment on who the other entrant was. SOPS has actually not declared any other entries for the Breeders Cup yet, though the majority of their stock have been seen working on the track. Is this an intentional move by the stable?
Sillenia recently rose to grade one. She is a dual surface mare, who has never won a dirt race, by Grand Silence and out of Tamaraq. This makes her a half sister to Worldbreaker, Silent Fury and Hail To Prince. She has surprised the media several times this year and has a history of success in the Breeders Cup, with a in in the Juvenile Turf (against colts!) and last year's win in the Filly and Mare Turf. Of future plans for the filly, Krystal claimed that they are going to the Turf next year but refused to make any further comments. Her biggest win this year was in the Little Miss Innocent Memorial Stakes.
