Justify's fee set at $250,000 as Coolmore America reveal 2025 line-up

Justify, sire of seven Group/Grade 1 winners, has been returned to a public fee and it has been set at $250,000 for 2025.

The undefeated US Triple Crown hero has made a spectacularly successful start to his career ar Coolmore’s Ashford Stud in Kentucky, with City Of Troy leading the line with his victories this year in the Derby, Coral-Eclipse Stakes and Juddmonte International, having won the Dewhurst Stakes in 2023.

He will start his own stud career at Coolmore’s County Tipperary base in 2025.

Justify began his stallion stint at $150,000 in 2019, a figure which was reduced to $125,000 in 2021, and fell again for the following two years to $100,000.

However, he was advertised at a private fee this year and his ongoing success, through also the likes of Ramatuelle, Opera Singer and Aspen Grove, has resulted in the 2025 level of $250,000.

Elsewhere at Coolmore America, the venerable Uncle Mo, sire of 15 top-level winners and counting, has had a slight snip for next year, to $125,000 from $150,000.

Another Triple Crown winner, American Pharoah, is $45,000 from $50,000, Golden Pal likewise has a $5,000 trim to $20,000, while newcomer Domestic Product, winner of this year’s Grade 1 H Allen Jerkens Memorial Stakes, sets off at $30,000.
