Arrowfield announces fees

Arrowfield Stud has disclosed the 2015 service fees for its 10 resident stallions. Multiple Champion sire Redoute’s Choice (Aus) (Danehill) remains available at A$110,000, unchanged from last year. His son Snitzel (Aus), who enjoyed a tremendous 2014/15 season on the track and at the sales with two Group 1 winners in Sweet Idea (Aus) and Wandjina (Aus) as well as the two Inglis Easter Sale-toppers at A$2.2 million and A$1.8 million, has his fee raised from A$71.500 to A$88,000 (+23%). Four-time Group 1 winner Olympic Glory (Ire) (Choisir {Aus}), a son of the former Australian sprint phenomenon Choisir, will be offered at A$19,500 for his first season as he shuttles from Al Shaqab’s Haras de Bouquetot. 

   Fees remain unchanged for both Animal Kingdom (Leroidesanimaux {Brz}), whose first foals are now weanlings, and Dundeel (NZ) (High Chaparral {Ire}), whose first foals are due this coming Spring, at A$33,000 and A$27,500 respectively.

   Leading sire of 2-year-olds Not A Single Doubt (Aus) (Redoute’s Choice {Aus}) also has his fee unchanged at A$33,000, as does Smart Missile (Aus) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}), whose first yearlings sold for up to A$700,000. His fee remains A$22,000, “in keeping with Arrowfield’s policy of raising fees only on the back of racetrack performance,” said the farm.

Manhattan Rain (Aus) (Encosta De Lago {Aus}) remains available at A$16,500, All American (Aus) (Red Ransom) has his fee dropped 33% to A$11,000 and Charge Forward (Aus) (Red Ransom)’s fee is down 25% to A$16,500.
