Millionaire Forever Silver, the sire of stakes winners Carlow and Nu Rival, was euthanized Thursday, Dec. 8, at the Cornell University Equine Research Park in Ithaca, New York. The 20-year-old gray horse had suffered an injury to his left hind leg.

The second-leading U.S. earner for his sire Silver Buck, Forever Silver won the grade I Brooklyn Handicap, Excelsior Handicap (gr. II), and Nassau County Handicap (gr. II) among his eight wins from 47 career starts. He also finished second in the Whitney and Suburban handicaps, both grade I, and in the Garden State Stakes (gr. II). He earned $1,001,974.

From 12 crops to race, his best progeny to date has been Carlow, this year's New York Oaks winner, and 2000 Thomas F. Moran Stakes winner Nu Rival.

Forever Silver's last crop was sired in 2003 when he stud at the State University of New York's animal sciences department at Cobbleskill, New York.
