Kentucky Stud Fees, 2027 Season
Every stallion standing in Kentucky, the 2027 fee as each farm announces it, and the fee history behind it back to 2022.
Partial Data cut October 18, 2026. 2027 fees released for 94 of 187 stallions by 9 farms, the latest on October 16, 2026.
Farms are still announcing 2027 fees. Fees not yet released show as TBA.
Scope. The roster is every stallion we found standing in Kentucky in 2026, from the Kentucky Thoroughbred Development Fund’s 2026 stallion list, the BloodHorse Stallion Register and farm rosters, that remains in Kentucky for 2027, plus the eleven stallions entering stud in Kentucky for 2027. Each season shows the last fee advertised for it, so a fee a farm revised after announcing it shows the revised figure, with the original listed. 2027 fees come from farm releases and link to them. Earlier seasons are checked against the farms’ own announcements where those were published, and otherwise come from Anne Peters’ compiled Kentucky lists, checked against the BloodHorse Stallion Register.

Method and Sources
Sources
- 2027 fees: each farm’s 2027 release, linked from the fee and from the farm table.
- 2022 to 2026 fees: the farms’ own announcements and the fee tables BloodHorse publishes with them, listed below; otherwise Anne Peters’ Kentucky stud fee lists (pedigreegoddess.com). Where her list carried the prior year’s fee forward pending an announcement, that fee is counted only for the year it was set.
- Pedigree, year of birth and year entered stud: the BloodHorse Stallion Register.
- Roster: the Kentucky Thoroughbred Development Fund 2026 Stallions by Stallion list, farm rosters and the Stallion Register’s Kentucky directory.
How we checked the history
Each season shows the last fee advertised for it: the farm’s announcement, updated by any revision the farm made before or during the season. Farms do revise. Spendthrift cut six 2025 fees on January 17, 2025, and Taylor Made seven on January 20. Where a fee changed after it was announced, the cell carries a dagger and both figures are listed under corrections and conflicts.
428 of the 598 fees shown for 2022 through 2026, covering 119 stallions, are checked against farm announcements: the farm’s own release or the fee table BloodHorse publishes with it. The rest, mostly at farms that do not publish annual fee tables, come from Anne Peters’ compiled Kentucky lists. Of those, 119 could be compared with the stud fee the BloodHorse Stallion Register reports for the crops and in-foal mares sold from that season, and 115 agree.

Definitions
- Fee is the last advertised fee for the season, usually stands and nurses or live foal. Private arrangements and discounts offered to individual breeders are not public and are not shown.
- Raised, cut, held compare the last advertised 2026 fee with the announced 2027 fee. A Private fee in either year, a Stallion Register listing without a farm release, and a fee still to come are not counted.
- Entered stud is the year of the stallion’s first breeding season, as the Stallion Register gives it, wherever he stood.
- Career stage, 2026 follows from that year: a stallion who entered stud in 2023 had his first two-year-olds racing in 2026, which makes him a first-crop sire; 2024 means first yearlings sold in 2026; 2025 means first foals born in 2026; 2021 and earlier are third-crop or established.
