Summerveld trainer Mark Dixon will be targeting his useful filly Silent Crusade at the Grade 3 Poinsettia Stakes over 1200m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville on April 26 and depending on how well she does there she might have a crack at the Grade 1 City Of Pietermaritzburg (SA Fillies) Sprint over the same course and distance…
Silent Crusade is owned by the team that raced and had enormous success with the special Mark Dixon trained London Call – closely related to Silent Crusade through her dam – owners Messrs G N Cumming, C N Larsson, & R D Samuelson, and breeder Bruce Le Roux retained a share.
Bruce Le Roux of Spring Valley Stud always breeds a consistently smart horse, and it seems he has another with impressive debut winner Silent Crusade, out of Silver Fantasy by Silvano.
