In that first year, the Wolf’s purchased six yearlings at the Fasig-Tipton July Sale in Kentucky, and among the recruiting class was a very special horse named Harlan’s Holiday.
Harlan’s Holiday was a colt that ran with his heart on his sleeve.
He amassed $3.6M in earnings, three Grade 1 wins, and a second in the world’s richest race, the coveted Dubai World Cup.
Harlan's Holiday was the burst that led Starlight Racing into a tremendous run on the world horse racing stage.
Starlight Racing has gone forward and produced major champions including 2018 Triple Crown winner "Justify" and 2020 Kentucky Derby champion "Authentic".

A native of Louisville, Wolf had success after Murray State when he started a hedge fund with Columbus Partners in Atlanta, and stayed on to manage the fund until his retirement.
