Playing God wlll stand at a fee of $49,500.

After covering books of 100 plus mares for the past three seasons as his fee has continued to rise, Playing God will stand this year for $49,500 inc/ GST up from $33,000 last year.

Playing God runs at 70% winners to runner and a super impressive 10.2% SW to runner and this season has sired seven stakes-winners headed by his Group I winner Bustler.

Splintex stands at $11,000 and will have his first yearlings selling in 2025.
Playing God stands with associate sires Splintex and Lightsaber, who remain at the same fees as last year $11,000 and $6,600 respectively.
