Irish Hill & Dutchess Views Stallions have announced the 2023 stud fees for the New York stallions they will manage. A new addition to the upcoming season’s roster is multiple graded stakes winning millionaire, Warrior's Charge .
Warrior's Charge will give NY breeders access to the speedy Munnings sire line in the form of a proven two-turn horse. He will stand his first season at stud for a fee of $5,000.
From a physical perspective, trainer Brad Cox calls Warrior's Charge “...a very well-built horse, with great bone and very sound throughout his entire career”. On the track, Cox reports Warrior's Charge "was a very good horse from day one. He had speed, he could carry around two-turns, and was competitive at the top level.”
As of Nov. 14, two stallions on the roster are ranked among the top three stallions in New York. With just three crops to race, War Dancer is currently ranked second and sired this year's Belmont Turf Sprint Stakes (G3T) winner Dancing Buck. He is currently among the leading 15 stallions in the country among third-crop sires. The son of War Front heads the 2023 stallion roster at Irish Hill & Dutchess Views and will again command a fee of $7,500 for the upcoming breeding season.
Perennial top NY sire, Big Brown is currently ranked number three among NY stallions. He is represented by multiple graded stakes winner and millionaire Somelikeithotbrown . The leading money earner among NY-sired runners this year, Somelikeithotbrown earned back-to-back stakes wins this year in the West Point Stakes Presented by Trustco Bank at Saratoga Race Course followed by a victory in the WinStar Mint Million Stakes (G3T) at Kentucky Downs.
King for a Day , the sire of the top-selling NY-sired weanling ($130,000) at Fasig-Tipton's Saratoga Fall Sale, will stand for his third season after covering 147 mares in his first two seasons.
Multiple grade 1 placed millionaire and 2017 Kentucky Derby presented by Yum! Brands (G1) runner-up Lookin at Lee will return for his third year at stud, representing the Lookin at Lucky sire line.
Waiting, the only son of Triple Crown winner American Pharoah standing in New York, returns for his second year. He hails from a powerful female family, with champion 3-year-old filly Wait a While as his second dam.
Irish Hill & Dutchess Views Stallions will continue to work closely with breeders by offering incentives for qualifying mares and multiple mare discounts across the entire roster. Irish Hill & Dutchess Views Stallions will hold its stallion show this year Saturday, Dec. 10,
