Hill 'n' Dale Farm announced their 2022 roster and fees headlined by two-time Horse of the Year Curlin, the leading sire of Grade 1 winners in 2021 with five. His stud fee remains unchanged.
Curlin's champion 2-year-old son Good Magic saw his first-crop yearlings very well received in the auction ring selling for up to $775,000. His fee remains unchanged as well.
Another young stallion who performed particularly well at auction was Army Mule, whose 44 first-crop yearlings averaged $112,000, with both a colt and a filly selling for $400,000.
New to the roster is Charlatan, a multiple Grade 1 Winner with earnings of $4,047,200, who will take up residence at the stallion complex at Xalapa alongside the farm's 13 other stallions.
Said Hill 'n' Dale president, John G. Sikura, “Hill 'n' Dale stallions continue to succeed at the highest levels. Currently, on the Blood-Horse sire list, Ghostzapper is ranked second by progeny earnings and Curlin number three with the most Grade 1 winners in North America. Maclean's Music has enjoyed a breakout year led by Grade 1 winners Jackie's Warrior and Drain the Clock. Kitten's Joy is consistently a leading sire and Violence has a prime Breeders' Cup contender in Dr Schivel. Our newest addition Charlatan is hugely popular with breeders and will be supported with our best mares.”
