Bill Graham, owner of Windhaven Farms, is a notable breeder with nearly 50 years of experience. Although horses were not his first career – he was a professional football player in the CFL, and is the founder of a heavy construction business – a chance visit to the racetrack during his honeymoon had him hooked.
Since that fateful day, those that have graced Graham’s stable include the two-year-old filly Tiz Breathtaking, who won the Grade 3 Mazarine Stakes at Woodbine and is a candidate for the Champion Two-Year-Old Filly in Canada.
In the 1970s, he bought and raced Proud Lou and Majestic Kahala, with Majestic Kahala being sold for $2.5-million. Some of the horses he has kept include Blondeinamotel, which won the Woodbine Oaks, in addition to Wavering Girl, Fantasy Lake and Cotton Carnival.
