Lane’s End 2022 Stallion Roster Topped By Quality Road At $150,000

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.

The roster also includes newcomer Code of Honor, a Grade 1-winning son of Noble Mission whose fee will be announced after his final start in the G1 Clark Stakes.

Quality Road Anchors Lane’s End Roster for 2022

Quality Road (Elusive Quality–Kobla, by Strawberry Road {Aus}), whose 'TDN Rising Star' son Corniche figures one of the favorites for the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Nov. 5, will remain at $150,000 for the upcoming breeding season at William S. Farish's Lane's End Farm, which released its stud fees Monday.

The 15-year-old stallion is in the midst of another outstanding season, with nine stakes winners to his credit. Three of those have come at the graded level, led by the aforementioned Corniche, who topped this year's OBS April Sale on a bid of $1.5 million from Peter Fluor and K.C. Weiner's Speedway Stable and ran his record to two wins from two starts with a 3 1/4-length victory in the GI American Pharoah S. at Santa Anita Oct. 1. Astronaut upset the GII Del Mar H. and is a candidate for the GI Longines Breeders' Cup Turf, while Dr Post impressed in the GIII Monmouth Cup while also placing in the GI TVG Pacific Classic and GI Woodward S.

Quality Road was the leading sire by average (more than one sold) at this year's bell-weather Keeneland September Sale, his 34 yearlings fetching an average of $472,794. Immediately behind Quality Road were Curlin and Into Mischief. Quality Road was represented by two seven-figure sellers at KEESEP, led by a $1.6 million half-brother to GSW & MGISP Midnight Bourbon (Tiznow) and GISW Girvin (Tale of Ekati) that was hammered down to Woodford Racing & West Point Thoroughbreds. He was also represented by a $1-million half-sister to GI Kentucky Derby winner Always Dreaming (Bodemeister) at Fasig-Tipton Saratoga.

The first crop of Quality Road's son City of Light has met with tremendous reception. The 7-year-old is the second-leading freshman sire of yearlings behind only Justify and he was responsible for the overall Keeneland September topper, a $1.7-million son of MSP Anchorage (Tapit) that was purchased by Woodford, West Point and Talla Racing. City of Light gets a bump from $40,000 up to $60,000 for 2022.

New to the Lane's End roster for 2022 is Code of Honor (Noble Mission {GB}), whose stud fee has yet to be set.

Code Of Honor To Stand At Lane’s End In 2022

Lane's End Farm announced today that the W.S. Farish owned and bred Code of Honor will stand the 2022 season at their Versailles, Ky., farm. Earning almost $3 million in a career that included graded stakes performances each year from two to five, the colt is a multiple Grade 1 and six-time graded stakes winner. He looks to add to his already impressive resume this weekend in the Grade 2 Fayette Stakes at Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, Ky.

Code of Honor got his racing career off to a perfect start wiring the field in a maiden special weight at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., in his two-year-old debut. This victory gave his Hall of Fame trainer Shug McGaughey the confidence to target the Grade 1 Champagne Stakes where Code of Honor finished second, posting a 90 Beyer after stumbling badly at the start. Never competing out of graded stakes company after his debut, Code of Honor had made 16 graded stakes starts to date, hitting the board in 12 and winning 6. Early in his three-year-old career, he won the Grade 2 Fountain of Youth Stakes and finished third in the Grade 1 Florida Derby making him a leading contender for the Grade 1 Kentucky Derby where he earned second place beaten less than a length. From there, Code of Honor won three graded stakes in a row to finish out his three-year-old career. The Grade 3 Dwyer Stakes set the stage for his three-length win in the Grade 1 Travers Stakes, posting a 105 Beyer. He annexed the Grade 1 Jockey Club Gold Cup Stakes in his follow-up race, posting a career-high 106 Beyer against older horses for the first time.

“Code of Honor impressed me from day one”, said trainer Shug McGaughey. “He is the type of horse every trainer dreams of: he is sound, balanced, and an efficient mover and takes to his training very well. What I saw him do as a two-year-old when breaking his maiden at Saratoga gave me the confidence to go straight to a grade one. Watching him overcome his bad break in the Champagne to run second was impressive and showed the heart and determination that's been a trademark of Code of Honor throughout his career.”

As a four-year-old and five-year-old, Code of Honor won the Grade 3 Westchester Stakes and the Grade 3 Philip H. Iselin Stakes posting a 105 Beyer while also hitting the board in the Grade 1 Met Mile, the Grade 2 Kelso Handicap, and the Grade 1 Clark Stakes, posting 102, 106, and 101 Beyers respectively.

“Code of Honor is a special horse on many different levels for us, and we're excited that he is returning home to the farm where he was born,” said Bill Farish of Lane's End. “He is what we like to see in a prospective stallion being a consistent performer at the highest level. He was a precocious two-year-old that developed into a classic horse winning at the elite level. He has the proven race record, desired physical attributes and deep pedigree to make him the complete stallion package.”

Code of Honor is by European Champion Noble Mission and out of the W.S. Farish homebred Reunited by Dixie Union, a winner of the Grade 3 Thoroughbred Club of America Stakes at Keeneland and has produced eight winners from eight horses, including G2 Best Pal placed Big League.

Code of Honor to Stand at Lane’s End

W.S. Farish-owned and bred multiple Grade I winner Code of Honor (Noble Mission {GB}–Reunited, by Dixie Union) will stand the 2022 season at Lane's End Farm. Earning almost $3 million in a career that included graded stakes performances each year from two to five, the colt is a six-time graded stakes winner and has a chance to add a seventh score at that level in Saturday's GII Hagyard Fayette S. at Keeneland.

Code of Honor graduated on debut before running second despite stumbling badly at the start in the GI Champagne S. Early in his 3-year-old season, he won the GII Fountain of Youth S., finished third in the GI Florida Derby and was runner-up in the GI Kentucky Derby. He followed that with scores in the GIII Dwyer S., GI Travers S. and GI Jockey Club Gold Cup against elders.

“Code of Honor impressed me from day one,” said trainer Shug McGaughey. “He is the type of horse every trainer dreams of; he is sound, balanced, and an efficient mover and takes to his training very well. What I saw him do as a 2-year-old when breaking his maiden at Saratoga gave me the confidence to go straight to a Grade I. Watching him overcome his bad break in the Champagne to run second was impressive and showed the heart and determination that's been a trademark of Code of Honor throughout his career.”

In his past two seasons, Code of Honor picked up graded stakes wins in the GIII Westchester S. and GIII Philip H. Iselin S. while also hitting the board in the GI Metropoilitan H., GII Kelso H. and GI Clark S.

“Code of Honor is a special horse on many different levels for us, and we're excited that he is returning home to the farm where he was born,” said Bill Farish of Lane's End. “He is what we like to see in a prospective stallion being a consistent performer at the highest level. He was a precocious 2-year-old that developed into a classic horse winning at the elite level. He has the proven race record, desired physical attributes and deep pedigree to make him the complete stallion package.”

Code of Honor is by European Champion Noble Mission and out of a W.S. Farish homebred who captured the GIII Thoroughbred Club of America S. and has produced eight winners from eight foals to race.
