American runner, Quincy HALL has openly shared that his greatest passions extend far beyond the track.
The 400m Champ revealed during a press conference in the completed 2025 Rabat Diamond League he was asked what he would be doing if he weren’t a professional runner.
Without missing a beat, Quincy Hall smiled and said he would be working with horses—ideally as a trainer. In fact, he shared his ambition of one day participating in the Kentucky Derby, not as a jockey, but as a trainer with his own horse.
It’s a vision root in childhood. Growing up in Columbia, South Carolina, Hall spent countless days riding horses with his uncle. That bond turned into a lifelong passion. Today, he owns three Tennessee walking horses and is actively working toward building a better farm.
“I’m just looking forward to getting the farm situated and seeing how life plays out,” he said.
Quincy Hall`s Love For Animals
Quincy’s love for animals doesn’t end with horses. He’s also a devoted dog lover, often giving them shout-outs in post-race interviews. The number of dogs in his care? Even he’s not sure.
“They keep having litters,” he laughed. But it’s clear that being around animals keeps him grounded. He credits them with teaching him patience, discipline, and a calming presence—qualities that reflect in both his lifestyle and his performance.
At the 2025 Rabat Diamond League, Hall competed in the men’s 400 meters, finishing third in a time of 44.90. While not a podium finish, it was another key moment in his steady march toward the big stage.
Quincy Hall’s story reminds us that elite athletes do not rely solely by their sport. Sometimes, their truest selves emerge when the spikes come off, and the dreams take a different path—one that leads not to a podium, but to a pasture.
