Comment from trainer Sean Tarry:
Silver Tycoon has given us two below par runs. He has had his time as a colt and the decision was made to geld him on the 28th of December. He was a little bit colicky in the evening after his gelding, but he has settled down now. He is a lovely horse; I am hoping gelding will allow him to fulfil his potential.

Raced over 1160m at Turffontein. Anthony Delpech post-race comment: Distance was too short and needs gelding to help him settle down and go over further.

December 11th, 2021
Raced over 1475m at the Vaal. Anthony Delpech post-race comment: He raced on the wrong side of the track with no cover and over raced. It was a very poor run.

Raced over 1600m on the Turffontein Inside course. Jockey Gavin Lerena said that he will need to come back in distance, as he tries to over race and does not finish his race off.
