Coolmore release fees for newcomers Calyx, Magna Grecia and Ten Sovereigns
No Nay Never receives another hefty increase ahead of 2020 covering season
Coolmore have unveiled 2020 covering fees for their all-conquering roster of stallions, including introductory prices for exciting newcomers Calyx, Magna Grecia and Ten Sovereigns.
Calyx, the brilliant Coventry Stakes-winning son of Kingman, has been pitched at €22,500, as has Group 1-winning two- and three-year-old Magna Grecia, while top-class sprinter Ten Sovereigns will stand his first season alongside his own sire, No Nay Never, at €25,000.
"On the racecourse Calyx defeated Advertise in the Coventry, Magna Grecia bettered Phoenix Of Spain in the Group 1 Vertem Futurity at two and King Of Change in the 2,000 Guineas at three, while Ten Sovereigns won the Middle Park at two and the July Cup at three, defeating Advertise, both in very fast times.
The son of the much-missed Scat Daddy has sired 20 stakes performers, with Ten Sovereigns joined by the likes of Coventry Stakes winner Arizona, Superlative Stakes scorer Mystery Power and Criterium de Maisons-Laffitte victress Shadn.
His progeny have been in high demand at the latest round of yearling sales on both sides of the Atlantic, with MV Magnier going to 900,000gns for a colt out of Winning Sequence at Book 2 of the Tattersalls October Sale, while Big Red Farm purchased his daughter out of Arctic Freedom for $450,000 at the Keeneland September Sale.
Four other members of the 23-strong roster are also receiving an increase in 2020. Caravaggio, whose first foals will hit the market this month, will stand his third season at Coolmore at €40,000, while the redoubtable Footstepsinthesand has been rewarded for a fruitful year, with horses like Threat and Mums Tipple, with an increase of €5,000, up to €15,000.
Leading first-crop sire Gleneagles - whose debut two-year-olds include 23 winners, such as Group 2 scorers Royal Dornoch and Royal Lytham and the Windsor Castle Stakes-winning Southern Hills - is up to €35,000, and Starspangledbanner, sire of another crack juvenile in Cheveley Park Stakes winner Millisle, has been promoted to €22,500.
