Susan Naylor’s Manny Wah (Will Take Charge o/o Battlefield Angel), a Grade 1-caliber sprinter who won the Grade 2 Phoenix Stakes at Keeneland and earned black-type placings in 14 other races, will stand in New York in 2026 under the management of Irish Hill & Dutchess Views Stallions, located in Stillwater, New York.
Manny Wah was twice a participant in the Breeders’ Cup Sprint (G1), acquitting himself admirably by finishing 4th & 5th in his two tries against the world’s top sprinters. He proved himself to be a durable, top-quality sprinter over seven seasons of racing, amassing earnings of over $1 million. His other graded stakes placings include runner-up performances in Aqueduct’s Toboggan Stakes (G3) and Tom Fool Handicap (G3). As a three year-old he kept very good company, finishing 3rd in the Malibu Stakes (G1) and the LeComte Stakes (G3). Manny Wah broke his maiden at second asking and would earn black type in his two-year-old year. He would proceed to earn stakes placings in every year of his career.
Manny Wah is out of the winning Grade 1-placed mare Battlefield Angel, the half-sister to Kentucky Derby (G1) runner up Lookin At Lee and multiple Grade 3 winner Blended Citizen.
Manny Wah will stand for a private fee in 2026. He will be available for inspection by breeders starting December 1, 2025. For more information on Manny Wah, including special incentives for New York breeders, or to book your mare, please contact:
