Tapit's fee doubled to 300K

Gainesway Announces 2015 Fees
Bloodhorse

Gainesway has announced the 2015 fee schedule for its seven-horse stallion roster, headed by leading sire Tapit with more than $15 million in current 2014 progeny earnings, a North American record.

The farm also announced that it will introduce a BreedSecure program for To Honor and Serve and Hat Trick . The program is similar to the incentive program pioneered by Spendthrift Farm, but setting Gainesway's program apart is that if a sales weanling or yearling does not sell for the stud fee, then no money is owed.

"The November breeding stock sales have been very strong, however, the stallion market remains very competitive. As such, we have adapted our own version of a BreedSecure program for two of our stallions," said Gainesway director of sales Michael Hernon, who added that the farm also is offering a unique breeding arrangement forBirdstone .

"With Gainesway's BreedSecure, the first money, equal to the BreedSecure stud fee, goes to the breeder. For example, if you breed to To Honor and Serve, with our BreedSecure program, the first $20,000 goes to the breeder. In the case of Hat Trick, the first $15,000, which is the BreedSecure stud fee, goes to the breeder.

"Our stallions have enjoyed an exceptional year on the track and in the sales ring. When 50% of your stallions with progeny have Breeders' Cup winners, it makes you feel good for the fellow breeders who have supported the program. We are committed to offering breeders exceptional value for their breeding dollar."

Stallion 2015 Fee 2014 Fee
Tapit $300,000 (book full) $150,000
Tapizar $15,000 $15,000
Afleet Alex $12,500 $12,500
Birdstone $5,000, or free to approved mares who have graded stakes earnings in first two generations of her family $5,000
Afleet Express $2,500 $5,000

BreedSecure
To Honor and Serve $20,000 BreedSecure /$15,000 $20,000
Hat Trick $15,000 BreedSecure /$10,000 $15,000

I'd spend 20K to breed to Blame rather than 300K for Tapit!

Claiborne Sets Fees for Blame, Algorithms
By Bloodhorse

Eclipse Award winner Blame , by Arch —Liable, by Seeking the Gold, will stand for $20,000 live foal stands and nurses in 2015, according to Claiborne Farm.

In his first crop of 2-year-olds this year, Blame has had 75% of his starters win or place. He has six winners and 12 placed from 24 starters, including a graded stakes horse.

The three-time grade I stakes winner is the leading first-crop sales sire in his crop by weanlings, yearlings, and 2-year-olds.

Claiborne stallion Algorithms , whose first foals will be yearlings next year, will stand for $5,000 live foal stands and nurses in 2015.

"This is Algorithms' third year which traditionally is a hard year for a stallion," said Claiborne Farms' Bernie Sams. "It's a competitive market, and Claiborne is committed to setting reasonable fees in order to accommodate the breeders, so it made sense to make this adjustment."

Undefeated winner of the Holy Bull Stakes (gr. III), Algorithms, by Bernardini , is a half brother to three graded stakes winners. His first weanlings included individuals that sold for $95,000 and $60,000.
