Lane's End in Versailles, Ky., has announced the advertised fees for its 2024 stallion roster, led by Quality Road at $200,000.
Quality Road, a 17-year-old son of Elusive Quality, is an industry leader on the racetrack and in the auction ring, led this year by Preakness Stakes winner National Treasure. His yearlings have sold up to $1.1 million this season.
Flightline, the 2022 Horse of the Year, will stand for an advertised fee of $150,000. The 5-year-old son of Tapit stood his first season at stud in 2023 following an unbeaten career on the racetrack, culminating with a victory in last year's Breeders' Cup Classic.
“Flightline was held to 152 mares in his first season, with a book containing an impressive collection of Grade 1 winners and producers,” said Bill Farish of Lane's End. “We adjusted his fee for his second season in keeping with what has become 'industry norm,' while continuing to limit his book close to 150 mares again.”
Veteran sire Candy Ride will stand for $75,000 on the heels of a season led by Grade 1 winners Geaux Rocket Ride and Candied. His son Twirling Candy will stand for $60,000, with top runners in 2023 including Grade 1 winner Exaulted.
Classic winner Arcangelo and multiple Grade 1 winner Up to the Mark will join the Lane's End stallion roster in 2024, with their fees to be determined after their respective starts in the Breeders' Cup.
