Journeyman Stud Fees Remain Unchanged for 2021
Stud fees for Khozan (Distorted Humor), St. Patrick’s Day (Pioneerof the Nile) and Fury Kapcori (Tiznow) well remain unchanged for 2021, Journeyman Stud announced Wednesday. Khozan will stand for $10,000, St. Patrick’s Day for $5,000 and Fury Kapcori for $2,500.
“We had so many requests for Khozan in 2020 that we were forced to turn away a lot of mares,” Journeyman’s Brent Fernung said. “Khozan certainly has accomplished enough to justify raising his fee for 2021 under normal circumstances, but with the current uncertainty caused by the pandemic, Crystal and I decided that leaving his fee at $10,00 was the proper thing to do.”
