Background of Silence Suzuka
Silence Suzuka was foaled on May 1st, 1994 by his dam Waika and his sire Sunday Silence. Silence Suzuka was able to stand on his legs after 
only 30 minutes of being foaled, which led to both Waika and Sunday Silence to worry since the average foal should be able to stand after 1 hour of being foaled. When Silence Suzuka was foaled, he was smaller than most other foals and his coat was a glossy chestnut color, he also had no noticeable flaws that could cause problems.
Races and Jockeys Featuring Silence Suzuka!
Silence Suzuka had won an astonishing nine out of sixteen races. Unfortunately, Silence Suzuka was seen as a horse who couldn’t race due to him being smaller than the other horses, but he put

The Tragedy and Ending of Silence Suzuka 🙁
During the Autumn Tenno Sho held on November 1st, 1998, Silence Suzuka had quickly overtaken every racer 
on the turf track, but this speed had a huge consequence. During the 4th turn on the track, Silence Suzuka had suddenly slowed down, allowing all the other horses to overtake him. Silence Suzuka had managed to continue running for a bit before slowing down and moving to the side to let his jockey off safely without injury. It was soon discovered that Silence Suzuka had completely shattered his left foreleg so badly that it couldn’t be fixed, which led to him being taken and humanely euthanized.
Why Silence Suzuka is Still Loved to This Day 🙂
People still love Silence Suzuka because of his unique way of running, his tragic ending, and lastly, they enjoy his hopeful reimagining in the Anime Umamusume: Pretty Derby. Silence Suzuka has been a crowd favorite by many people because of his all-or-nothing running strategy, his dominance of always being first in his races, and his unforgettable tragic end. Lastly, they enjoy his anime adaptation in which he has
hopes of recovering instead of actually being gone for good, he also is more compelling, so his friends can always have someone to run and train with, and finally, it shows a digital memoriam of the legendary horse, Silence Suzuka. May he rest well, farewell.. Silence Suzuka.
