Prime Ruler was regarded as North Queensland’s future star winning eight times in nine starts over a 12 month period from July, 2021.
He has been a great money spinner for his connections, which include Tom Hedley, who paid $15,000 for the former NSW galloper.
His 23 starts for Wieland have produced 10 wins and 4 placings with prize money earnings of more than $167,000.
“Tom had him on his farm up here and told me to pick him up and to try and win a maiden somewhere with him,” Wieland said.
“He got him from Sydney but he kept going shin sore down there."
