"The Adventure of Silver Blaze" is a Sherlock Holmes short story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, first published in The Strand Magazine in December 1892 and the first story in The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes collection. The story revolves around the mysterious disappearance of Silver Blaze, a famous racehorse, and the suspicious death of its trainer on the eve of a major race. Set against the atmospheric backdrop of Dartmoor, the case features Holmes's keen observation of seemingly small details—most famously, the "curious incident of the dog in the night-time"—which prove pivotal in solving the mystery.
