From a Dec 14,2011 Sporting Post article,
Another famous stallion, best described as vicious, was Halo. A horse who constantly wore a muzzle, Halo passed on much of his fire to his great sun, Sunday Silence. The latter was said to have “a belligerent temper” while Halo attacked a number of grooms during his years at stud.
Sunday Silence’s groom, Naoki Sarota, described the champion as “very aggressive…it is a miracle that we both have all our body parts in tact.”
Famed US trainer, Charlie Whittingham, said of the Halo progeny,”Halo is a pretty mean sucker…all his sons and daughters are a little that way. Sunday Silence is very fiery… Goodbye Halo (won Kentucky Oaks) is a little cranky and she’ll kick the brains out of you.”
