SNAPY HALO (ARG)

Snapy Halo, was bred by Juan Carlos Bago in Argentina’s Haras Firmamento farm and has had an impressive race and breeding career. He won the Estrellas Mile (G1) race in Argentina. As the son of Southern Halo and the progeny of Esnaola, a group 1-placed mare, Snapy Halo comes from renowned bloodlines. He is also a sibling to esteemed group 1 champions Sebi Halo and Halo Ola. Thus, he brings old Halo line genes into our farm’s genetic pool. Southern Halo (1983–2009) was an American-bred Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. In his racing career he ran twenty-four times, winning five races and finishing second in the Grade I Swaps Stakes and Super Derby. He is chiefly notable for his remarkable career at stud where he was leading sire in Argentina on ten occasions and the sire of 170 stakes winners, including 56 Group/Grade I winners, and 16 champions.

After starting his stud career in Australia and later relocating to Calumet Farm in Kentucky in 2014, Snapy Halo joined Owl Hollow Farm’s premier breeding program in 2022. Snapy Halo has consistently proven to be a suitable match for the mares already present on our farm. He has sired six foals at Owl Hollow Farm in 2023 and 2024, and actively contributed to enhancing our breeding program with several successful pairings.

Snapy Halo has demonstrated his ability to sire high quality progeny by producing 26 winners out of 45 starters. Among his notable progeny is Snapy Gal, the winner of the Iowa Breeders’ Oaks, who accumulated impressive earnings of $272,435 from the ages of 2 to 5. Additionally, Snapy Halo has sired Konkeror K., a multiple stakes winner in Panama, and Wilmas Irish Rover, a ten-time winner who set three track records in New Mexico. Notably, Wilmas Irish Rover broke his own record for a mile and 70 yards at Zia Park in 2020.

Snapy Halo’s legacy as a distinguished stallion continues to unfold, and we are excited about the exceptional halo gene pool that he imparts to his offspring. At Owl Hollow Farm, we are honored to house this exceptional stallion and eagerly anticipate the future as we cultivate a new generation of champions.
