The above bronze statue of Silvano was unveiled recently at Maine Chance Farms. It was sculpted by Robin Kutinyu, who also sculpted the statue of Captain Al at Klawevlei Stud.
The late Silvano was a six-time national champion sire.
The son of Lomitas has produced 105 individual stakes winners and 28 individual Gr 1 winners to date.
His last crop are now three-year-olds, so he is likely to still improve on those figures considering none of his 18 crops have been without a stakes winner.
He is also proving to be a sire of sires with his son Vercingetorix being the biggest boom sire in the country at present and commanding a cover fee of R220,000 (R50,000 nom plus 170,000 live foal).
