Can only see Remember the Chief.
Looks like the trainer could have found a better spot but the horse doesn't know that. He will try. They all do.

they have joe bravo as a guest with andy and greg on "america's day at the races" and they discuss army mule for a minute or two as he rode him in his final career race at aqueduct the carter stakes ...it starts in the 33 minute mark on the you tube live stream if you want to see it..cool some of the things he reveals

I do not keep up with his babies but when I see them I root them home. I noticed his fee dropped to 20K. Was that an industry wide phenomena? I have seen other fees drop also.

that's possible pigpen but just speculation as is my guess ..his fee went from $7.5k in 2022 to $12.5k in '23 and then $25k last year..that's a big jump % wise over a short period of time and maybe they felt he'd attract a few more takers at the slightly lower fee

the 2yo's this year will be the last from the $7.5k fee
so a good year with this crop would show a lot imo
..also these were conceived in 2022 which was his first crop of 2yo's so the breeders hadn't seen any of his progeny run and of course he did get a lot of good runners to start off

hey pigpen! For the most part it's an Industry wide thing......That's where the farm feels he will be competitive vs other stallions at that price range and how the prodigy have performed in the graded stakes level.

Iv'e been told that my horse (sieze the grey) studs,s fee probably will go down next year.... as most first time stallions fees do until the babies start showing up showing and people get a peak at conformation and then of course when they hit the race track.
