A colt who developed late, Yagli began racing at age three but did not meet with much success until age five in 1998 when he won three Graded stakes races including the Hialeah Turf Cup Handicap[1] and finished second in the Breeders' Cup Turf. The following year, he won three Grade I races at age six in 1999.[2][3][4]

Paulson died in July 2000, and Yagli was sold by the estate to a stud farm in Brazil.
