Silencio Porfavor was a $120,000 Magic Millions purchase.

A $120,000 Magic Millions purchase for his trainer from the Vinery draft, Silencio Porfavor is the third winner from Silent Rush, a winning Charge Forward full sister to stakes-winner Assail from the family of Group I winenrs Master of Design and Suntagonal.
