Who is the best stud fee value in Kentucky? Pioneering would certainly be in the running, especially for those breeders who are breeding to race and on a budget. He’s a whole lot more than just a winning half-brother to Storm Cat and by Mr. Prospector. He’s sired 12 SWs in 2006, including G1 winner Behaving Badly. With 25 SWs from 7 crops to race, Pioneerings lifetime stats amazing when you consider his stud fee: 75% starters, 55% winners to foals, 17% 2yo winners, and 7% SWs. Where else are you going to find a stallion with these kind of stats for $5,000 … or even $10,000?
