His $100,000 fee is a little steep, but word is it might come down. |
It will come down like most stallion do in there 3rd and 4th year because they lose their commercialability of being the 'new' stallion between the first two years and the time they get their 1st crop to the track to prove themselves...he'll drop to around $80K if I had to guess...its normal....Giant's Causeway even dropped in his third season at stud and then it took back off after his obvious great first crop...
