Silent Poet, a three-year-old son of Silent Name, seeks his third straight trip to the winner’s circle when he takes on eight rivals, including Pink Lloyd, Canada’s reigning Horse of the Year, in Saturday’s $100,000 Overskate Stakes, at Woodbine.

Bred and owned by Stronach Stables, Silent Poet heads into the seven-furlong main track feature off two impressive scores, including in his most recent effort, the Vice Regent Stakes, contested on September 16 at Woodbine.

Under Gary Boulanger, the dark bay stalked the early pace in the one-mile turf event, challenged the leader at the top of the stretch and then held sway to win by a length.
