Vaughan Koster of Cheveley Stud reported the safe arrival of Wylie Hall at his farm in Ceres yesterday. Wylie Hall has been syndicated amongst the leading breeders in SA for stud duties and will be managed by John Freeman.

First past the post in three Group 1 races Wylie hall won the Gr1 SA Derby and Gr1 Presidents Champions Challenge beating Majmu. Wylie Hall retires with career earnings in excess of R3.6m. John Freeman pointed out that, “Wylie Hall’s 6 wins from 1400m to 2450m prove his versatility as a racehorse”. He earned a cheque in 10 stakes races, six of those at Gr1 level.

Wylie Hall was The Racing Association’s Champion 3yo of the Feature Season in 2013 and Horse of the Season, Champion Middle Distance Horse and Champion Older Horse in 2014

John Freeman said that he was “delighted to add this son of legendary sire Redoute’s Choice to his management portfolio, as his pedigree suits the most proven broodmare lines in the South African Stud Book”.

Three-time Champion sire Redoute’s Choice is the most influential sire-of-sires in Australian breeding history with 21 sons at stud, 15 of them have produced stakes winners and 8 have produced Gr1 winners.

Wylie Hall stands his first season at stud for a fee of R20,000.
