Include’s 2007 is $25,000 at the moment, but this might go up some if his outstanding juvenile G1 filly Cash Included wins the Breeders’ Cup. With 12 winners (including 2 SWs and 3 others SP) and ranked No. 5 on the 2006 Leading First-Crop Sires list, Include is one suprise success stories this year.
Indian Charlie has gone from $25,000 to $40,000 for 2007, and rightfully so. With 5 crops to race, he’s got 27 SWs, including G1 winners Pampered Princess and Cash Included.
I’m am pleasantly surprised they’ve dropped the stud fee for Proud Citizen to $12,500. I’ve been high on him since he retired to stud. Gone West has proven to be a sire of sires and Proud Citizen’s dam Drums Of Freedom’s descends from one of the breed’s most influental matriarchs — Natalma, dam of Northern Dancer. He won the G2 Lexington Stakes, was 2nd in the Kentucky Derby, and 3rd in the Preakness. This stallion offers a lotta bang for the buck!
