A Houston-area native and graduate of Texas A&M, Hal trained
horses for 34 years. Once a leading trainer at Keeneland in 1998, Wiggins
saddled more than 840 winners and over 15 stakes winners’ in his lifetime. His
biggest stakes winner was Horse of the Year, Rachel Alexandra, who under Hal’s
care won four graded stakes races – including a record-setting 20 ¼-length romp
in the 2009 Kentucky Oaks (G1).
Hal’s vast range of relationships with end-users and owners
in the Thoroughbred industry assist us to better market our clients’ horses, as
well as reach a larger demographic of people in the industry that do not
normally attend Thoroughbred auctions.
Hal and his wife Rene, have two sons – Lon and Whitney – and
several grandchildren.
