Could some of you maybe wax poetic about him as a sire? :wink:

Rumor has it there were talks of the Lone Ranger trading in Silver for Runaway because Silver didnt have enough commercial appeal.

Ignore I'm a yutz! I already asked this question. The sea air and constant rain is melting my brain :oops:

Poor Silver. So underrated. :cry:

*waxes poetically*

Cherokee Run and the lot....um.... :lol:

He's a good sire and very consistent. Has done a good job maintaining a branch of the BR line.
