Ocala Stud released its stud fees for 2025, topped by accomplished freshman sire Win Win Win at $8,500.
The grade 1 winner by Hat Trick is Florida's leading freshman sire by progeny earnings and the second-leading North American freshman sire by percentage of black-type winners from runners at 9.1%, as of Nov. 20, behind Tiz the Law at 11%. Win Win Win's top performers include Sorrento Stakes (G3) winner Nooni , who was also runner-up in the Oak Leaf Stakes (G2); and multiple stakes winner Win N Your In , who captured the FTBOA Florida Sire Susan's Girl Stakes and the Sharp Susan Stakes while adding a third in the FTBOA Florida Sire Desert Vixen Stakes to his year's accomplishments.
Win Win Win won or placed in nine of 12 career starts from 2 to 4. At 3, he placed twice in graded stakes, with a second in the Blue Grass Stakes (G2) and a third in the Tampa Bay Derby (G2). He rose to the next level at 4 when he won the 2020 Forego Stakes (G1) by half a length in a last-to-first move over Complexity at Saratoga Race Course for owner/breeder Live Oak Plantation. Win Win Win is a descendant of the Halo sire line.
New to the Ocala Stud roster for next year is multiple leading Florida sire Khozan , who had been standing at Journeyman Stud. The son of Distorted Humor, who currently leads the state's general sire rankings by progeny earnings and by number of winners and stakes winners, will stand for $6,000. Out of Delta Princess, by A.P. Indy, Khozan is a half brother to three-time Eclipse champion Royal Delta, and grade 1 winners Crown Queen and Delta Prince . He is represented on the racetrack this year by R Harper Rose ($377,230), winner of the Forward Gal Stakes (G3) and second in the Any Limit Stakes; Lure Him In ($521,233), winner of the Sunshine Classic Stakes at Gulfstream Park; and graded stakes-placed Hot Peppers ($424,950), who was runner-up in the Las Flores Stakes (G3) at Santa Anita Park.
Stud fees have been held steady for Roadster (by Quality Road ) and three-time grade 1 winner Colonel Liam (by Liam's Map ). Roadster, who won the 2019 Santa Anita Derby (G1), will stand for $7,500, while Colonel Liam, whose best performances included consecutive wins in the 2021-22 Pegasus World Cup Turf Invitational Stakes (G1T), will stand for $6,500. The first foals for both sires will be yearlings in 2025.
Top 20 Florida sire Battalion Runner , a grade 2-placed son of Unbridled's Song, no longer stands at Ocala Stud, having been sold to Haras Marnu in Uruguay in October. He was represented this year by Rated by Merit , who won the FTBOA Florida Sire Affirmed and Dr. Fager stakes, and by stakes winner Lightnin Runner .
