Silas Brown

Trainer at the stables of Lord Backwater.

“Silas Brown, the trainer, is known to have had large bets upon the event, and he was no friend to poor Straker.” (Inspector Gregory)

A fierce-looking elderly man strode out from the gate with a hunting-crop swinging in his hand.

“A more perfect compound of the bully, coward, and sneak than Master Silas Brown I have seldom met with.” (Sherlock Holmes)
