Three Chimneys Farm announced in October that the 1997 champion 3-year-old male had been retired from breeding in Japan and would be return to the United States to live out his life at Old Friends

The decision about his retirement was a joint venture among Three Chimneys, Silver Charm's owners Jeff and Beverly Lewis, and the Japan Bloodhorse Breeders' Association (JBBA). Silver Charm stood his initial five seasons at Three Chimneys in Midway, Kentucky, before moving to the JBBA Shizunai Stallion Station prior to the 2005 breeding season
