Walter Haefner - Moyglare Stud Farm

Moyglare Stud Farm

In 1962 Haefner purchased the 440-acre (1.8 km2) Moyglare Stud Farm near the town of Maynooth, County Kildare, in Ireland. His Thoroughbred racehorses have won numerous Group One and British Classic Races in England, Ireland, and France as well as important races at other venues in Europe, North America, Japan, Australia, and Hong Kong.

In the United States Moyglare's racing stable was handled by trainer Christophe Clement while Dermot K. Weld is the trainer in charge of its European operations. In 1991 Weld became the first European-based trainer to win a race in Hong Kong when Molyglare's colt Additional Risk won the Hong Kong Invitational Bowl at Sha Tin Racecourse.

In 1975 the Curragh Racecourse honored Moyglare's contribution to Irish racing by naming a Group I race the Moyglare Stud Stakes. In 1988 Trinity College, Dublin awarded Haefner an Honorary Doctorate for his services to the Irish bloodstock industry and for his contributions to education in Ireland.
