Halo (February 7, 1969 – November 28, 2000) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse and an important Champion sire.
[1] Purchased by Charles W. Engelhard, Jr., owner of Nijinsky, Halo raced under his Cragwood Stable banner.
Although never a superstar horse, Halo raced for four years and in 1974, at age five, won the Grade I United Nations Handicap.
After retiring from racing, in 1975 Halo was sent to stand at stud at the Maryland division of Windfields Farm, where his progeny included Sunny's Halo and, through his mating with the mare Ballade, Devil's Bag, Glorious Song, and Saint Ballado.
In 1984, new majority owners moved Halo to stand at Arthur B. Hancock III's Stone Farm in Paris, Kentucky, where he continued to produce notable offspring, the star of which was Sunday Silence.
