Offlee Wild (foaled April 5, 2000 in Kentucky) is an American thoroughbred stallion racehorse. Bred by Dorothy A. Matz, he was sired by Wild Again, out of the mare, Alvear, whose sire, Seattle Slew, was a Triple Crown winner and inducted into National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame.

Offlee Wild bears a striking resemblance to his sire, Wild Again, and was purchased as a yearling at Keeneland for $325,000 by AZ Azalea Stables, a syndicate stable headed by Lansdon Robbins III.

At three, he defeated Funny Cide in his first race around two turns in the Holy Bull Stakes, scoring a Beyer Speed Figure of 99. Unfortunately a virus affected his schedule and he placed third after Peace Rules in the Blue Grass Stakes in his only other Kentucky Derby prep.

At four, he again met and beat Funny Cide in the Massachusetts Handicap, setting a 110 Beyer Speed Figure. He lost by a neck in the John Campbell Handicap but came back in the Excelsior Breeders' Cup under a hand ride by Edgar Prado to win by over 8 lengths.

Then at five, at Belmont Park, he took the Suburban Handicap over Pollard's Vision and Evening Attire in a time of 2:00 2/5 for 10 furlongs.

Retirement

Retired in August, 2005, due to injury, Offlee Wild stands at Darley Stud in Jonabell, Kentucky, for a fee of $10,000 live foal.
