1989 Horse of the Year Sunday Silence (Halo) has been named the 2025 Legend of Bourbon County. The award, given by the Legends of Bourbon County Thoroughbred Fund, will be part of the annual festival held October 11 and 12 in Paris, Kentucky. The festival will feature live entertainment, educational events and farm tours.
“We are thrilled to honor Sunday Silence the 2025 Legend of Bourbon County, as well as partner with Stone Farm” said Lauren Biddle, chair of the Legends of Bourbon County Thoroughbred Fund. “His legacy, both as a racehorse and as a sire, is a testament to the rich tradition of excellence in Bourbon County, and we look forward to celebrating him alongside the passionate community of racing fans and breeders who continue to make this region a global epicenter for Thoroughbred breeding.”
Arthur Hancock of Stone Farm added: “We are blessed to be in Bourbon County, the heart of the Bluegrass, on the very land that produces world class racehorses. Sunday Silence was one of the best things that ever happened to me in my life. He was a gift from God.”
