Reports indicate that influential trotting stallion Conway Hall was humanely euthanized on Wednesday, Jan. 11 at the age of 28.

Conway Hall had retired from breeding in 2020 due to the infirmities of his age and was being cared for by Walnut Hall Limited in Lexington, Kentucky.

Trained by Bob Stewart during his racing career, Conway Hall put together a record reading 13-7-5 from 29 starts while earning $818,884 in purses.

Bred by Fermes Angus Farms of Bedford, Que., the son of Garland Lobell-Amour Angus was the top two-year-old in the sport in 1997, earning divisional honours in both Canada and the United States. A multiple Grand Circuit stakes winner in North America, Conway Hall also won the classic Orsi Mangelli in Italy as a sophomore, defeating Italian champion Varenne in straight heats.

As a sire, Conway Hall produced 1,247 starters with more than $98.54 million in total progeny earnings. His first crop included the Dan Patch divisional award-winning two-year-olds, the sensational filly and broodmare Pizza Dolce ($668,824) and the undefeated stallion Broadway Hall ($583,762), who recently passed away. 

Conway Hall sired five millionaires including international star Wishing Stone ($2,361,099) and Triple Crown champion Windsongs Legacy ($1,921,088), along with Win Missy B ($1,595,769), Habitat ($1,293,870) and Dayson ($1,257,506).
