Golden Silence (IRE)
Golden Silence is a maiden who won none of 35 starts and placed twice. His best effort came when second of eight at Leopardstown in Jul 2013. The gelding, by Shirocco out of a Selkirk mare, raced on turf and all-weather without success and was last seen finishing 11th of 15 in a claiming hurdle at Bellewstown in Aug 2022. He contested that race off an official rating of 80, 21lb below his highest ever mark.

KTB Speed and Rating
Best recent Speed 81
How fast the horse ran, as points against the day-corrected standard time for its course and distance: 100 is the median GB Class 4 handicap winner on that code; one point is 0.1% of the standard time. A, B or C is how much the day's card could tell us, not how good the run was. What this means →

Both figures are KTB's own, computed from the archive; no vendor rating enters either. Every run's figure is on its form line below with its grade. Grades measure how much the archive could see, never the merit of the run.
Run style is derived from in-running commentary, which our data provider does not supply for this horse's races.
