Curlin Will Stand for $100,000 in 2016

It was announced today that Curlin, currently the 7th ranked sire on the General Sire List with progeny earning in excess of $9,500,000, will stand for $100,000 stands and nurses in 2016.

"The rise of Curlin as an elite sire of Grade 1 winners, on any surface at any distance of either sex, makes him a unique choice for breeders. He has 3 outstanding Grade 1 winners this year and the best is yet to come. We will support him with our best mares and encourage our clients to do the same. We expect to be oversubscribed and his book will be limited to 125 mares with the ability to add up to 15 additional mares later in the season. Curlin was a rare talent as a racehorse and we believe he is poised to become the next great sire," said John G. Sikura, President of Hill 'n' Dale Farms.

"Curlin, the world's best racehorse, has now become a leading sire. He is like a family member to us and we are thrilled by his rise to the top of the stallion ranks. We will continue to support him with our stellar broodmare band, a great diverse group of mares that compliment his versatility. Our goal is to breed Classic winners by Curlin and enhance his legacy as a great sire,"  said Stonestreet's Barbara Banke.
