One of thoroughbred racing’s youngest winning owners, Wesley Sigler is already making his mark on the sport. We caught up with him at Saratoga to hear his story and what fuels his passion for racing.

Thank you for the memories Aqueduct 🩵
I had Xavier Villenueve ranked #4 on my list. And I think 31 other NHL orgs will hate that they passed on this kid in a few years. Elite skater, manipulative, deceptive, elite vision, extremely skilled, could be Lane Hutson 2.0. Great pick by Kyle here.
“I have to be honest. He’s one of the most exciting draft picks I’ve ever had. Been doing this a long time, I think he’s the smartest player in the draft..”
Jets Director of Amateur Scouting Mark Hillier is effusive in his praise for Viggo Björck.

Viggo Bjorck in world juniors was incredible. Love that pick for Winnipeg. And now sharks gonna get Verhoeff and Stenberg. Action at the draft. Dorofyev traded to the rangers. Where is Helleybuyck going? Will Werenski be dealt. The National Hockey Association. This is nuts
"We’re going to provide him the opportunity to become one of the top defensemen around the league, and we feel 100% wholehearted that he can and will be that guy."
Breaking down the Blackhawks' controversial Bowen Byram trade: https://t.co/6oImPwt8WV
Byram just needed opportunity. With the hawks he will get pp #1 and play close to 25 minutes a game. Byram got 40 points last year playing behind Dahlen and Powers
I get #Blackhawks are mad at the price Davidson paid for Byram. Fair enough
But for how long are the Hawks going to stay in a rebuild and keep drafting?
At some point, you need to go for it and acquire talent.
Byram is a fine add.
Cry some more #NHL
Hawks need a young Now player. Probably need a few more. And that’s what Bowen is. His age fits well with this team. Also has a Stanley cup ring which is useful
Now that I slep on it I love the Bowen Byram trade.
June 23rd, 2026.
The tear-down and tank phase of the rebuild is officially over.
We complained about the neverending rebuild.
We complained about finishing 31st over and over and over again.
We complained about Kyle not bringing in any young stars but old washed up leftovers.
This trade answers all of that.
We have a young core that we believe in, and Byram is the FIRST PIECE of the construction around them.
He is still super young, but already experienced with almost 400 NHL games played, including being a proven impact player in the playoffs.
His name is on the Stanley Cup and he was a factor in winning it.
Most importantly, he helps us next year. He will unlock offense off the blue line.
We have been addicted to getting high picks and the adrenaline of the draft.
It's time to get addicted to winning more games, and pushing against the wild card spot.
Bowen Byram will help us do that NEXT YEAR.
Not in 4 years.
Obviously, we need more players on the wing. Our team has holes.
But the rebuild is finally in ACTUAL build phase now.
I am very happy where we are.
