I) over last year's champion 2-year-old filly Halfbridled and took the Ocala Stud Oaks in her first start of the year. As a juvenile, she won the California Breeders' Champion Stakes and was second in the California Cup Juvenile Fillies Stakes.Silent Sighs, who was produced from the Bertrando mare Quiet Romance, retired with four wins from six starts and earnings of $442,700.
