Coolmore have announced their US fees for 2021 with reductions for many stallions including Triple Crown heroes American Pharoah and Justify, who are both covering mares in Australia this spring.
American Pharoah, who sired his first Group I winner this year, will stand at $100,000, down from $175,000, while Justify will be priced at $125,000, down from $150,000.
Topping the roster is Uncle Mo, who has had a fee increase from $125,000 to $175,000. He is currently second on the North American General Sires List splitting Into Mischief and Tapit.
“Our established sires have enjoyed great success on the racetrack this year, but in recognition of the challenging times we find ourselves in, we have reduced the fees of all of our sires yet to have runners with the one exception of Mendelssohn (half-brother to champion sire Into Mischief) who we have probably under-priced all along,” said Ashford’s Director of Sales Charlie O’Connor.
“We have three exciting new additions to our roster and we look forward to watching Echo Town and Maximum Security continue to show their brilliance on the racecourse before they retire.”
