Roman Chestnut

In her stakes debut - Aqueduct's Busher S. in February 2010- the 3-year-old
filly ROMAN CHESTNUT stunned her competitors with a relentless stretch drive
that saw her get a one-length victory at odds of 45-1!

The chestnut filly is a half-sister to 2009 Maryland-bred champion
3-year-old male and champion sprinter, NOT FOR SILVER, and the second stakes
winner produced by the Silver Deputy mare Silverdew. The first foal bred by
the partnership of Dark Hollow Farm, William DeBurgh and George Harris out
of Silverdew was the Golden Missile colt MERCANTILE, who was sold by the
partnership for $175,000 at the Keeneland September Yearling Sale.
MERCANTILE was a pinhook homerun, when sold by O & H Bloodstock, agent, for
$2 million at the Fasig-Tipton Florida Calder Selected Two-Year-Olds in
Training sale.
