Well I’ve never done this before, so bear with me as I bungle through my stable’s first stallion’s booking.
Introducing for his first year at stud:
[align=center]NCh. Eighteen Karat
2010, b, 17.0 hands
What’s It Worth (G)-Heart of Gold (S), by Mr. Prospector (S)
RC Bee - California
2016 fee: $3,000 LFG
Eighteen Karat is a strapping plain bay son of the great What’s It Worth and the multiple-stakes producer Heart of Gold. He is a turf router who as a 3YO won the Breeders’ Stakes (G1) and two significant Grade 1s on dirt - the Belmont Stakes and the Santa Anita Derby. As a 4YO he won four G3s Down Under - the Grafton Cup, the Labour Day Cup, the Newcastle Gold Cup, and the Queen’s Cup.
Eighteen Karat will serve mainly as an in-house stallion, and whatever slots remain open will be available for reserved booking. As he did nothing significant of note as a 5YO his fee is set at $3,000. The fee is $1,000 for mares of NCh. rank or higher, and Gold-ranked or higher mares. Limit two mares per stable. Special consideration for mares from the Highland Rogue sireline.
