Derby winner Wylie Hall
Having won the Gr1 SA Derby in fine style, Wylie Hall grabbed international attention in the Durban July last year and then lowered the top performing Grade 1 filly Majmu’s (Redoute’s Choice) flag in the star studded Gr1 President’s Champions Challenge.
He won three Gr1 races with career earnings of over R3.6m – with six wins from 1400m to 2450m and 9 places. He earned a cheque in 10 black type races – 6 of them at Gr1 level.
He is being aimed at the July again this year and will then retire.
Wylie Hall was the Racing Association’s Champion 3yo Of The Feature Season in 2013 and he was Horse Of The Season, Champion Middle Distance Horse and Champion Older Horse in 2015.
Wylie Hall’s owner Michael Leaf was recognised by the Racing Association and Gold Circle as Owner Of The Month in May this year.
He grew up in a family that loved racing and now, with a string of over 40 horses, he is well known as a gentleman of the game – successful racehorse owner and breeder with a growing broodmare band. We are delighted to work with him and Vaughan on building WYLIE HALL’S career as a stallion.
