    Silvio (18741890) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. In a career that lasted from 1874 to 1877 he ran eight times and won three races. In 1877 he won the Epsom Derby and the St Leger. At the end of the 1877 season he was retired to stud where he had success both in England and France.

    Background

    Silvio was bred by his owner Evelyn Boscawen, 6th Viscount Falmouth at his stud at Mereworth Castle in Kent. He was sent into training with Mathew Dawson at his Heath House stables at Newmarket, Suffolk. His sire, Blair Athol, was an outstanding racehorse who won the Derby and the St Leger in 1864 and went on to be Champion Sire on four occasions. Silvio’s dam, Silverhair, was a successful racehorse and produced other winners including the colt Garterly Bell, who finished fourth in the 1875 Derby, and the filly Silver Ring, who won six races including the Bretby Stakes.

    Racing career

    As a two-year-old in 1876, Silvio showed promising form to win four of his five races. On his racecourse debut, Silvio won the Ham Stakes at Goodwood. He then won three races at Newmarket: the Clearwell Stakes on 2 October, the Post Stakes, and the Glasgow Stakes in which he was the only starter and walked over. He then finished second to the French colt Verneuil in the Buckenham Stakes.
