Grade 2-Winning Millionaire Manny Wah Joins Irish Hill & Dutchess Views for 2026

Susan Naylor’s Manny Wah, a Grade 1 caliber sprinter and winner of the Grade 2 Phoenix Stakes at Keeneland Race Course, will stand the 2026 season under the management of Irish Hill & Dutchess Views Stallions LLC in Stillwater. The 9-year-old son of Will Take Charge will stand for a private fee in 2026.

Manny Wah earned black type placings in 14 other races beside his Phoenix score in 2022. He competed in two editions of the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Sprint, finishing fourth and fifth in two tries as the world’s top sprinters. He proved himself to be a durable, top-quality sprinter over seven seasons of racing, amassing earnings $1,012,499

Manny Wah’s other graded stakes placings include runner up performances in Aqueduct’s Grade 3 Toboggan Stakes and Grade 3 Tom Fool Handicap. As a 3-year-old he kept top company, finishing third in the Grade 1 Malibu Stakes at Santa Anita Park and the Grade 3 LeComte Sakes at Fair Grounds. Manny Way broke his maiden at second asking and would earn black type in his 2-year old year. He earned stakes placings every season on the track.

Manny Wah is out of the winning, Grade 1-placed Proud Citizen mare Battlefield Angel, who is the half-sister to Kentucky Derby runner-up Lookin At Lee and multiple Grade 3 winner Blended Citizen.
