Into Mischief at Spendthrift Farm
B. Wayne Hughes' Spendthrift Farm announced 2017 stud fees for 26 stallions set to stand at its Kentucky-based operation this upcoming breeding season, as well as four stallions standing in New York, Maryland, and Louisiana. The roster includes three new Kentucky-based stallions, and is spearheaded again by leading sires Malibu Moon and Into Mischief whose fees are both $75,000 S&N.
Into Mischief and Malibu Moon saw the biggest changes from their 2016 fees, with Into Mischief's rising from $45,000 a year ago and Malibu Moon's fee dropping from $95,000 in 2016.
Into Mischief, whose 2017 book has already been announced as full, had a strong year. Though he ranks 51st on the general leading sire list, the son of Harlan's Holiday has had six black-type stakes winners of his 17 lifetime this year. Among his black-type winners are four 2-year-old winners, led by grade I winner Practical Joke, who won the Champagne and Hopeful stakes (both gr. I). Into Mischief, a half brother to champion Beholder, has also seen a rise in commercial value. His yearling average for the year is $118,714 compared with $88,123 a year ago and $51,668 in 2014.
The following chart for Kentucky stallions provides a stands-and-nurses fee and a "Breed Secure" fee, if applicable, for each stallion. The chart below for regional stallions provides a stands-and-nurses fee, a standing location, and an "out-of-proceeds" fee, if applicable, for each stallion.
