I didn’t really have time to arrange and advertise Space Chips’ bookings this year, but wanted to just write how he and his offspring are doing. I do accept his breeding requests and approval will not be required later in the year. Stud fee remains the same as last year.

Space Chips is currently 4th Nightfight son at stud, with highest percentage of winners - 64% (59% last year). His first 2yo’s made him a Leading Freshman Sire in 2024. Space Chips was already a stakes winner at that age; won Gr. 1 Futurity Stakes and Gr. 2 Saratoga Special. He also finished 3rd in Gr. 1 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile. He ran 16 races as a 2yo.
His first born son GCh. Aufeinander won the Rainbow Quest Breeders’ Stakes, in which his half brother Hans finished 2nd. Earlier in their 2yo year, Aufeinander finished 3rd in the Gr. 1 Del Mar Futurity, behind Ch. Hans. Hans later won Breeders’ Cup Juvenile, becoming a millionaire.
Space Chips foals do earn good money at auctions; his filly SpaceFinalFrontier earned $1,001,000 for her breeder Starfish Stables, at their auction. She earned even more at the track: $1,428,900. Later on, unraced filly Balanga, auctioned by Clicker Lab, went to Starfish Stables for $1,500,500. She also won more at the racetrack.
Space Chips sired 11 multiple stakes winners and 4 millionaires. Stud fee: $10,000. Currently, all his February - April slots are taken, but still plenty available from May on.
