West Point Thoroughbreds and Domeyko Taylor’s Sorcerer’s Silver, a promising 3-year-old son of Good Magic from the Dale Roman’s barn, romped home a seven-length winner Thursday afternoon at Gulfstream Park to remain undefeated in two starts.

Sent to the post as the heavy 1-5 favorite in a first level, $50,000 optional claiming for Florida-breds going six furlongs, Sorcerer’s Silver shot to the lead from post two and led down the backstretch before longshot Aero Star took a momentary lead while finishing the first quarter mile in :22.50. Jockey Irad Ortiz Jr. sent Sorcerer’s Silver after the leader around the turn then took command at the five-sixteenths pole before drawing off to win easily in 1:09.29 on the fast track.

Sorcerer’s Silver, who is Triple Crown nominated, broke his maiden against fellow Florida-breds by eight-and-a-quarter lengths at Gulfstream Park on Feb. 1, earning an 84 Beyer number. 

West Point purchased Sorcerer’s Silver for $130,000 out of Steven Venosa’s SGV Thoroughbreds consignment at last year’s Fasig-Tipton Midlantic 2-year-old in training sale and he is also a graduate of Ocala Breeders’ Sales Company. Dilliga Stables took him for $45,000 out of the Darsan consignment at the 2023 OBS October Yearling Sale.

Sorcerer’s Silver is out of the stakes-winning Florida-bred mare Money Or Love, by J Be K, a half-sister to multiple Grade 1-winner World of Trouble. World of Trouble is a half-brother to Grade 2-winner and popular sire Bucchero. Both World of Trouble and Bucchero are by Kantharos.

Sorcerer’s Silver was bred in Florida by Daryl S. Clark of Plantation, Fla., in the name of his Darsan Inc. in partnership with Good Magic Syndicate.
