I am offended by BLM removal, transport, and warehousing of horses and burros on my dime.

He looked snow white but, on closer examination, I could see his stockings and the blaze on his face. We could see a little colt lying in the snow under a juniper tree.

Silver Cloud was returned to race on the West Coast during the winter months. He won the prestigious American Derby at Washington Park and the Hindoo Stakes at Latonia, both of which were contested at a mile and a half. In 1886 Silver Cloud won two very important races and ran third in four others including the Travers Stakes at Saratoga Race Course.
