Back at $175,000, Curlin leads Hill 'n' Dale's 2020 stallion roster
Hill 'n' Dale Farms announced its 2020 stud fees on Tuesday with World of Trouble new to the roster. By Kantharos, he won the Grade 1 Carter Handicap on dirt and the Grade 1 Jaipur Invitational Stakes on turf this season. On the board in 12 of 13 starts with 9 wins, World of Trouble posted a 118 Beyer Speed Figure, the highest three year old Beyer of the year.
Curlin leads the roster, and his fee will remain $175,000 in 2020. In addition to being the leading sire of yearlings, having sold the sales topper at the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Sale, he was also the leading sire of 2-year-olds in 2019 with the $3.65 million topper at the Gulfstream sale.
"Curlin has enjoyed a phenomenal year on the racetrack and in the sales ring. His progeny earnings this year are over $10 million, ranking him fourth on the general sire list," said John G. Sikura, President of Hill 'n' Dale Farms. "In addition to selling the Sale Topping colt at Keeneland September for $4.1 million, his yearling average of $607,000 makes Curlin the most successful commercial sire in North America. His book will not exceed 140 mares and we expect he will once again attract a phenomenal group of mares."
