'If we had room to lower a stud fee, we did it' - Spendthrift on 2021 policy

Spendthrift Farm's fees for 2021, as with most compatriots in the United States and elsewhere, are down on 2020, with only Into Mischief having received a bump.

“Breeders are the backbone of our industry, and the bottom line is that stud farms only go as breeders go, we are all in this together,” said the famous farm's B Wayne Hughes.

“Our team recognises the challenges of the times and how the entire breeding community has been affected this year. If we had room to lower a stud fee, we did it. We wish every participant in this great industry the best of luck and the best of health in 2021.”

Reigning champion general sire Into Mischief heads the roster yet again at a previously announced fee of $225,000, and is booked full. He represents the only stallion with an increased fee in 2021.

Perennial leading sire Malibu Moon and popular second-season sire Omaha Beach will both stand for $35,000. Fellow second-season sire Vino Rosso, last year’s Breeders’ Cup Classic hero, will stand for $25,000.

Multiple Grade 1-winning juvenile Bolt D’Oro, 2019 Eclipse Champion Sprinter Mitole, and the northern hemisphere’s number one third-crop Sire Goldencents will all stand for $15,000.

Spendthrift will also add multiple Grade 1-winning millionaire Vekoma to its stallion ranks. The Met Mile-winning son of Candy Ride is set to compete in the Breeders’ Cup next month at Keeneland. His fee will be announced upon retirement.
