SOUTHERN HALO as a racehorse, won 5 races from 1400m to 1800m and was Group One placed twice over 2000m in the US. He retired to stud in Argentina where he became a sire sensation, totally dominating the local racing scene and winning ten straight Champion Sire premierships from 1994 to 2004, as well as being Champion 2YO sire five times, and Champion Broodmare sire three times to date. His success led to his purchase by Coolmore Stud in 1996 and his transfer to stud duties in the US, and his subsequent sale to Japan in 2003 to replace the mighty Sunday Silence when he died. The then 20 year old was re-purchased by his original Argentinian owner in 2004 and returned to Argentina where he continues his stud career. To Feb’ 2009 Southern Halo is the sire of 1245 runners, 909 winners, 158 stakes winners, 50 individual Group One winners.
