Anyone know if there are any stallions left from this line? I can't find any, just wondering if anyone knew of one tucked away in some remote spot.

I don't know of any but did come across this wonderful article about him! he must have been grand fun to watch him run!

Answering my own post, I found this...

He did manage to sire a few winners. Mr. Payne and Son of Silky were both dual stakes winners. On August 2, 1965, Mr. Payne copied his famous father's "come-from-behind" style with a stirring victory in the Oceanside Handicap, and then the La Jolla Handicap. Son of Silky won the Omaha Gold Cup and the Centennial Derby. In 1968, another of his sons, Silky's Image, owned and bred by Qvale, won the Silky Sullivan Purse. At this very moment, in Cheshire, England, there stands at Pickmere Stud a stallion called Pickmere Mistral. Silky's daughter Silky Starlet foaled Tromeros out of Camden Town who sired Pickmere Pure Gold who was dam to Pickmere Mistral. Silky's blood still flows and who knows when, if ever, a little Silky will run again.

If his dam had anything to do with it, you could look at babies by Cozzene or Timber Country -- they're from the same family. So is Boldnesian, although a more distant cousin.

I found a 1973 mare sired by Silky's Image.

This family has crossed well with Silky.(family of silky's image.)

Thanks for the info. I have a mare who's 4th dam is the dam of Silky Sullivan. I was surprised that his blood did not even last into the middle of todays pedigrees.
