Sumbe Sets 2026 Fees, Charyn Remains At €35K

Star miler Charyn will stand at an unchanged fee of €35,000 and will anchor the five-strong Sumbe roster, which was announced on Wednesday.

A winner of the G1 Queen Anne Stakes, G1 Prix Jacques le Marois and the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes, he will welcome his first foals in 2026.

A trio of Sumbe sires will have their first yearlings next year. International globetrotter Mishriff will stand for a reduced fee of €12,500, while the Group 1-winning juvenile pair of Angel Bleu and Belbek will stand for lower fees of €6,000 and €5,000, respectively. Rounding out the roster is Golden Horde at €3,000. He has a 46% winners to runners ratio, with Group 1 performers and listed winners among his first three-year-olds.

“Our mission has always been to make excellence accessible,” said Nurlan Bizakov, owner of Sumbe. “We believe in long-term collaboration with breeders and this adjustment is our way of showing that commitment in a tangible way. By revising our fees we're giving breeders a genuine opportunity to access top-class stallions that match their goals and budgets.”
