Silver Cloud (1883 - November 14, 1886) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse bred and raced by "Lucky" Baldwin.
He won the prestigious American Derby at Washington Park and the Hindoo Stakes at Latonia, both of which were contested at a mile and a half.
On November 14, 1886, while being exercised at Bay District Racetrack in San Francisco a gate had mistakenly not been shut and Silver Cloud charged out and would die instantly when he crashed into a fence.
[6] Silver Cloud was initially buried in the equine cemetery at his owner's Rancho Santa Anita in what today is Los Angeles County, California.
As a result of acreage sales to real estate developers, the grave of Silver Cloud and the three other of Lucky Baldwin's American Derby winners along with the large granite Maltese cross were relocated to the paddock gardens at Santa Anita Park.
