Eurosilver, a grade 2-winning son of Unbridled's Song, died Sept. 13 in South Korea, where he's stood since the 2015 breeding season, according to Korea Racing Authority stud book records.

A homebred for Buckram Oak Farm, Eurosilver won the 2003 Lane's End Breeders' Futurity (G1) at 2 and the Skip Away Handicap (G3) at 4. His record also included second-place finishes in the Stephen Foster Handicap (G1), Swale Stakes (G3), and Perryville Stakes. He retired with 4-4-0 record from 12 starts and earned $622,310.

The stallion entered stud at Dromoland Farm in Central Kentucky when the late Gerry Dilger launched a stallion division. He stood at Dromoland for five seasons before Dilger and his partners relocated Eurosilver to Penn Ridge Farms in Pennsylvania, where he stood another five years. Eurosilver was eventually exported to Korea in July 2014.

As a stallion, Eurosilver sired 202 winners from 285 starters that included nine black-type winners and a champion in Korea. His best runners included 2010 Miesque Stakes (G3T) winner Neversaidiwassweet and multiple stakes winners Euro Platinum and Wild Jacob. His daughter Gippeumnuri was purchased for $15,000 by S.R.O.A. at the 2009 Ocala Breeders' Sales Spring 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale and went on to be named Korea's champion imported 2-year-old filly for that year.

Eurosilver's progeny have earned more than $12.1 million. His top earner is dual surface campaigner Silver Sashay, who didn't win a stakes but won 15 of 47 starts and earned $390,185.
