Mill Ridge Farm announces the 2021 stud fee for world record turf miler, Oscar Performance at $15,000, LFSN.
A son of 2018's leading North American sire Kitten's Joy, he was bred and raced by Jerry and John Amerman. As a 2-year-old, Oscar Performance won the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf.
He won Grade 1 stakes races at two, three, and four, and he broke a 20-year track record at Belmont Park at a mile in 1:31.23, all with no Lasix.
“We celebrate his third year, for we have seen so many of his foals and they are genuine quality,” said Headley Bell. “He has every opportunity to buck the trend and have more mares in his third year than he had in his first two of 118 and 116. At a stud fee of $15,000 live foal, he is value, for you have these quality foals in the pipeline.”

Faversham, a multiple winner and the only full-brother to two-time Horse of the Year California Chrome, has been retired from racing to stand at Daehling Ranch in Northern California. His 2021 fee is $2,000, live foal guarantee. Lifetime breeding rights are available for $4,500.
A 5-year-old son of the late Lucky Pulpit, California's leading sire by progeny earnings in 2014 and 2016, Faversham was campaigned by his co-breeders, Perry and Denise Martin of Martin Racing, who also co-bred and raced California Chrome. Like his wildly famous older sibling, Faversham is a California-bred who won races on two different surfaces.
California Chrome won the 2014 Kentucky Derby, the 2016 Dubai World Cup and five additional Grade 1 races on dirt and turf before he retired to the breeding shed in 2017 with Eclipse Awards as Horse of the Year for 2014 and 2016, and a career bankroll of $14,752,650 that ranked him as the highest-earning North American runner in history. After standing his first three breeding seasons in Kentucky, with two additional Southern Hemisphere stints in Chile, California Chrome was purchased privately in late 2019 by Japan-based connections, and stood at Arrow Stud in that country this year.
The 9-year-old stallion is represented by eight winners from his first crop of 2-year-olds in 2020, led by his Grade 1-placed filly, Cilla.
Faversham and California Chrome were produced by two-time California Broodmare of the Year Love the Chase, a winning daughter of 12-time leading Maryland sire Not For Love.
“Faversham overcame several obstacles, including a torn tendon, to win races in California and Kentucky for us,” Perry Martin said of the Santa Anita Park and Turfway Park winner. “He always tried his best and managed to carve his own identity from the immense shadow cast by his big brother, who was the rarest of all Thoroughbreds — the horse of a lifetime.”
“We are thrilled to bring him home to California, where the legendary story of California Chrome started, and to offer his proven bloodlines at an affordable price for breeders on a budget.”
Faversham successfully covered a small group of test mares privately late last spring, and will be available to outside mare owners in 2021 as a registered California stallion nominated to Breeders' Cup.

A colt by Stay Thirsty topped the 2020 edition of the Fasig-Tipton California Fall Yearlings sale, held Monday at Los Alamitos Race Course in Cypress, Calif.
Stay Thirsty led all California-based sires in earnings in 2018 and 2019 and is the state's leading sire by blacktype stakes winners in 2020. The Grade 1 Travers Stakes-winning son of Bernardini sired two of the sale's top three offerings.

Fasihuddin went to $110,000 to purchase the second most expensive colt of the day in Hip 51, a colt by Stay Thirsty out of the winning Malibu Moon mare Moon River Gal. That mare is a half-sister to nine other winners, including last year's G3 Charles Town Oaks winner Lady T N T. Hip 51 was also consigned by Lovacres Ranch, agent for California breeder Terry C. Lovingier.
Nyquist, current leading first crop sire by Grade 1 winners, was responsible for the sale's top filly, which sold for $135,000 as Hip 75. The dark bay or brown filly out of G2 Santa Monica Stakes winner Lost Bus was purchased by Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners from the consignment of Fairview LLC. Hip 75 was bred in California by Thomas W. Bachman.
Overall, 166 yearlings sold for $3,735,700. The average was $22,504 and the median was $10,000.
