Lane’s End in Versailles, Ky., has released its advertised fees for the 2022 breeding season, led by leading sire Quality Road at $150,000, unchanged from the previous year.
Quality Road, a 15-year-old son of Elusive Quality, is led this year by Grade 1 winner and Breeders’ Cup Juvenile contender Corniche, Grade 2 winner Astronaut, multiple Grade 3 winner Dr Post, and Grade 1-placed Dunbar Road.
After a standout debut season for his yearlings at auction, Grade 1 winner City of Light will stand for $60,000 after previously standing for $40,000.
A 7-year-old son of Quality Road, City of Light has been represented by a pair of seven-figure yearlings in 2021, including a $1.7-million colt that topped this year’s Keeneland September Yearling Sale.
Veteran sire Twirling Candy also saw his fee increase in 2022, going from $40,000 to $60,000.
The 14-year-old son of Candy Ride was led this year by Preakness Stakes winner Rombauer, joined by Grade 1 winner and Breeders’ Cup Juvenile contender Pinehurst, Grade 3 winner Gear Jockey, and Grade 1-placed Dream Shake.
Two stallions’ fees will be determined by the results at the Breeders’ Cup.
Connect, an 8-year-old son of Curlin, is among North America’s leading freshman sires, led by Grade 1 winner and Breeders’ Cup Juvenile contender Rattle N Roll, who won the G1 Breeders’ Futurity at Keeneland in October. He is also the sire of Hidden Connection, who earned a “Win and You’re In” berth to the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies after taking the G3 Pocahontas Stakes.
The fee for Liam’s Map could also fluctuate by the Breeders’ Cup outcomes, starting with a base fee of $40,000. The 10-year-old Unbridled’s Song horse has a Juvenile Fillies hopeful in Grade 1 winner Juju’s Map.
