Amazing Silsol now Gr.2 winner over hurdles!  
What a fighter this gelding is! Following a four-months-break, Soldier Hollow’s Silsol returned to the track in top shape to record his most important victory yet. In today’s GBP40,000 Gr.2 West Yorkshire Hurdle at Wetherby racecourse, the seven-year-old ran his heart out to put Gr.1 winners Ballyoptic and Lil Rockerfeller behind him. Jack Sherwood asked everything of Silsol, and the gelding jumped without mistake to secure a thrilling victory by a length after 4,850 meters. Trainer Paul Nicholls prepares Silsol for owners Michelle and Dan MacDonald.

After Arctic Fire, Silsol is the second Gr.2 winner over hurdles for our star sire Soldier Hollow. He was bred by Hof Iserneichen stud out of the Groom Dancer-mare Silveria.
