WinStar Farm has set 2024 stud fees for its stallion roster, headed by Constitution who will stand for $110,000 S&N for the upcoming breeding season.
Life Is Good will stand his second season at stud for $85,000 S&N, and perennial leading sire Speightstown will stand for $80,000 S&N.
The roster will be bolstered further by multiple Grade 1 winner and the third-leading North American earner in history, Country Grammer, who will stand for an introductory fee of $10,000 S&N, and one of the highest-rated 3-year-olds of 2023, Two Phil's, who will stand his initial season at stud for $12,500 S&N. Fees for Audible and Always Dreaming will be announced at a later date based on results in the coming month.
“We are very excited about our roster for 2024,” said Elliott Walden, president, CEO, and racing manager of WinStar Farm. “Constitution's 2-year-olds have him exactly where we thought he would be, and Life is Good is coming off a very promising start. We have four stallions—Improbable, Tom's d'Etat, Global Campaign, and Promises Fulfilled—whose progeny hit the track next year, and give a breeder a very nice upside if they are willing to take a chance. I have had top horsemen tell me they think Two Phil's is the best 3-year-old in the country, and he is priced right. Country Grammer's record speaks for itself. Our team can't wait to get started.”
Constitution is this year's leading sire of 2-year-olds. Constitution boasts 18 2-year-old winners thus far in 2023, including Aspenite, impressive winner of the Kentucky Downs Juvenile Mile Stakes in September. In addition to the success of his progeny on the racetrack, Constitution has been represented with in-demand yearlings in the auction ring this year, including a $1.3 million yearling in Book 1 at Keeneland September. Additional yearlings have commanded up to $900,000, $900,000, $850,000, $850,000, etc.
Perennial leading stallion Speightstown is the sire of 26 Grade 1 winners, and he is represented this year by undefeated 2-year-old standout Prince of Monaco. Perfect in his first three starts, Prince of Monaco won the Grade 1 Del Mar Futurity in his most recent outing and is a leading contender for this year's Breeders' Cup Juvenile.
Life Is Good, a four-time Grade 1 winner in his sensational racing career, enters his second season at stud in 2024. The son of Into Mischief bred 192 mares in his initial book, including 70 graded stakes winners or graded stakes producers and 25 Grade 1 winners or Grade 1 producers.
Multiple Grade 1 winner Country Grammer, the third-leading North American earner of all time, will stand his first season at stud in 2024. Country Grammer defeated 24 Grade 1 winners and amassed a staggering $14,921,320 in earnings in an illustrious racing career. Only the late Arrogate and Gun Runner have earned more.
Leading 3-year-old Two Phil's, who finished a close second in this year's Kentucky Derby, will stand his first season at WinStar in 2024. Two Phil's concluded his racing career with three consecutive performances recording triple-digit Beyers. Two Phil's was a four-time stakes winner by a combined 26 lengths.
Outwork has now sired back-to-back winners of the Grade 1 Spinaway Stakes at Saratoga, including the undefeated filly Brightwork. With an eye on the Breeders' Cup, Brightwork is slated to make her next start in Friday's $600,000 G1 Alcibiades Stakes at Keeneland.
