Graeme Hall Starts 2010 With A Bang
01/05/10
Graeme Hall made a strong run to overtake the venerable Montbrook as Florida's leading sire of 2009. He had a great year and would up in a virtual deadheat with Montbrook, falling just short in total earnings for the year. Graeme Hall started off 2010 in full stride as his daughter Poovey won the Sleigh Ride Stakes at Philadelphia Park on January 4th. The five-year-old out of Delirio by Jolie's Halo set the pace early in the 1 mile and 70 yard race and held the lead throughout, finishing with ease and a 1-1/2 length lead at the wire. Poovey is yet another of a list of talented Graeme Hall progeny bred by stallion owner Eugene Melnyk. The mare is trained by Bruce Levin and is owned by Repole Stables. See chart.
