This field of six horses will be an interesting race to watch.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>There are three talented 3 year olds looking to make a name for themselves against older.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>They picked a race where they will be butting heads with one of the top four year olds, Silencers.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The pace and way this race will unfold seems to be a mystery.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Rare in the Graded Stakes sim world there is no speed horse entered in the race.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>All of the top horses are closing types that like to make their run from deep in the pack.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/P>

Silencers is a Grade I winning four year old son of Kingmambo, out of a Danehill mare.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This accomplished horse came from the back to win the Sword Swallower GI at this distance with a speed figure of 109.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He barely missed and ran second in the Smackdown 2 races back, running another 109 speed figure.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This is his best distance, with his last six races at 12 furlongs averaging a 106 speed figure.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He has never ran on or near the lead, so Super1 is hoping to get another horse to set an honest pace.<\/P>
