The Price is Right

From the point of view of immediate practical application, the trouble with year-end sire statistics is that often the horses which you think look the best, and which the numbers confirm are the best, are all booked up by the time the statistics are published. We can’t promise some of the sires we’re reviewing today aren’t also already full for 2014–in fact, we’re sure a few of them are–but they all won’t be. These are sires whose numbers we think all read pretty well but aren’t all that expensive to breed to; their prices range from $2,500 for Horse Greeley (Kentucky) and Circular Quay (Florida) to €20,000 for Holy Roman Emperor in Ireland, and $25,000 for English Channel and Curlin in Kentucky.
