Silver Ray won the Hoist the Flag Stakes (G3) at Hollywood Park as a two year old for Jerry and Ann Moss, trained by Brian Mayberry and ridden by Martin Pedroza. As a three year old Silver Ray ran third in the El Camino Real Derby (G3) at Bay Meadows. As a mature horse he did not prove competitive in stakes, but won on the Keeneland and Santa Anita turf courses as well as continuing to earn on the dirt. He retired with 6 firsts and 3 thirds in 26 starts, and earnings of $268,532. At stud, Silver Ray sired 47 offspring including 11 winners before being sold to a dressage trainer, for whom he proved a successful sire of sport horses. In 2013, the aging stallion was discovered in at slaughter auction in California and bought for $30. The Polo Pony Rescue in Glendale helped him regain his health. When a newspaper article alerted Mr. and Mrs. Moss to Silver Ray’s narrow escape, they worked with Old Friends to give their former campaigner the permanent home and care he has earned.
