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."
