His death was confirmed Sunday on the social media accounts of Ardsley Stud in New Zealand, owned by his parents, Jim and Mary Wallace. A New Zealand native, Wallace grew up on Ardsley Stud, which was purchased by his grandfather in 1971. He was a graduate of the New Zealand Thoroughbred Breeders' Sunline Scholarship, an immersive Thoroughbred industry training program, and he served his externship at Rich Hill Farm in his home country. Wallace is best known for his eight-year run as chief operating officer of China Horse Club, where he played a major part in the group's acquisitions during its early years. Dale Romans Applauds 'Turning Point' Thanks To StrideSafe SensorDale Romans Applauds 'Turning Point' Thanks To StrideSafe Sensor Read More Chief among those acquisitions was the purchase of a $500,000 Scat Daddy colt in partnership with Maverick Racing, the nom-de-sales ticket of WinStar Farm CEO Elliott Walden, at the 2016 Keeneland September Yearling Sale. Later named Justify, the colt would go on to sweep the 2018 Triple Crown and sell to the Coolmore partnership on a stud deal worth a reported $75 million.  Justify highlighted the more than Grade or Group 1 victories and five Eclipse Awards earned by China Horse Club during his time with the company. After leaving China Horse Club in 2021, Wallace became an independent bloodstock agent for clients around the globe, including Vincent and Teresa Viola's St. Elias Stable, where he was on the team that landed Grade 1 winner Mindframe. He also worked for Kuldeep Singh Rajput’s Gandharvi Racing Stables, where his domestic successes Grade 3 winner Hall of Fame, owned in tandem with the Coolmore partnership. Wallace is survived by his wife Kristi and five children.  
    • Also on an Interdominion flavour. Just now at Albion Park young Riley Butt , son of ex-pat Lyell Creek trainer Tim Butt trained the winner Bottecelli. Was only going to run second but the Long Odds on favourite JillibyGiddy Jumped the dark Shadow of the large floodlight Pole 100m out.🙄 Lucky he didn't do a Liquid Lightning NZ Derby trick ?  The previous race TAYLAD TO USE from the North Island having his 2nd start for Grant won easy. Last week the Punters got burnt when he ran 4th first up at $2.40. They didn't back up today and he went from $2.40 opening out to $3.50 lol.   The Trot field is out for next Saturday night too with Nz champ Oscar B v GUS a big highlight as they prepare for the Interdom next month. Sanderson is down to drive Oscar B and Rubira NZ for Marky on Saturday night. bit risky putting him on lol. but he might fluke it like he just did on Botticelli for Riley Butt 🤣 
    • Yep , foaled in Tasmania (like both George and John in earlier years before shifting to Canterbury. Roydon Lodge? Owner Wayne Francis who was thirds in ownership with George and John ( tragically died at Young age 56 cancer) in blue suit seen with George after winning the 1976 NZ Cup. and then the win here at this years venue of Albion Park Brisbane when we went the wrong way round. Corrected a couple of years after Stanley Rio had won here.  Wayne Francis became a NZ HALL of Famer with helping establish Nevele R and  Spreydon Lodge, to set up Standardbred breeding for years to come. Many horses with the FRANCO in front of their names . Well done Ranga !!!
