WinStar Farm announced 2015 stud fees for most of its 22-stallion roster, led again by leading sire Distorted Humor who stands for $100,000 S&N, and emerging top sire Speightstown, whose fee will again be $80,000 S&N following another year with the son of Gone West firmly placed in the top 10 on the 2014 General Sires list.
WinStar welcomes millionaire Revolutionary new to the stud barn for 2015. The striking dark bay recently retired after a decorated career on the track that featured wins in the $1 million Louisiana Derby (G2) at three and Pimlico Special (G3) this year at four. Revolutionary was also one of the fastest 2-year-olds from his crop, and he placed in some of America’s biggest races at three and four including a close third in the Kentucky Derby (G1). He’ll stand for $7,500 S&N as a participant in WinStar’s Dream Big program.
Fast Bullet is also new to WinStar for 2015. One of the top sons of Speightstown, Fast Bullet a leading sprinter in the North America who scored his biggest win on Belmont Stakes Day in the True North H. (G2) in 1:08.27, just a fifth of a second off his sire’s winning time nine years prior. Fast Bullet will stand for $5,000 S&N.
“We couldn’t be more proud of the WinStar stallions and their continued success across the board, both on the racetrack and in the sales ring in 2014,” said Elliott Walden, WinStar President & CEO. “WinStar remains focused with an eye towards the future, and it is our mission to continue to offer breeders top dirt pedigrees and top dirt performers that excel around two turns. We’re thrilled to bring in Revolutionary as the next exciting stallion prospect out of our racing program, which we’ve worked hard to produce top stallions from, such as Super Saver and Distorted Humor.”
