Pedigree Foundation 
Silent Tactic carries bloodlines from two accomplished thoroughbreds. Tacitus stands as his sire, while his dam, Magical Sign, traces through Gun Runner. This Tacitus x Gun Runner cross represents a blend of two horses with significant racing accomplishments and proven ability to sire quality competitors.

Sire Line: Tacitus 
Tacitus established himself as a Grade 1 winner and accomplished racehorse. As a stallion, Tacitus has demonstrated an ability to pass on racing class and versatility to his offspring. His progeny have competed successfully in stakes company across various racing conditions.

Dam-Side Heritage: Gun Runner Influence
Magical Sign carries the Gun Runner line through her sire. Gun Runner was a champion racehorse and Horse of the Year who established himself as one of racing's elite performers. As a broodmare sire, Gun Runner's influence contributes durability, tactical versatility, and competitive instinct to pedigrees.
