Airdrie Stud in Lexington has set initial stud fees for 2005 champion two-year-old male Stevie Wonderboy and Stephen Foster Handicap (G1) winner Flashy Bull.
Stevie Wonderboy will stand his first season for $17,500, Airdrie’s Bret Jones said. The four-year-old Stephen Got Even colt out of Heat Lightning, by Summer Squall, won the Bessemer Trust Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (G1) and Del Mar Futurity (G2) in his championship season.
Flashy Bull will begin his stud career with a $10,000 fee. The four-year-old Holy Bull colt out of Irridescence, by Mt. Livermore, won the William Donald Schaefer (G3) and Stephen Foster in consecutive starts this spring.
Airdrie recently sold third-crop sire Forest Camp to the Korean Racing Authority, and he has arrived in South Korea to stand at the Jeju Stud Farm.
Forest Camp, winner of the 1999 Del Mar Futurity, is the sire of recent Pennsylvania Derby (G2) winner Timber Reserve, Grade 2 winner Hello Liberty, and five other stakes winners.
Through Wednesday, the ten-year-old Deputy Minister horse out of La Paz, by Hold Your Peace, sired 94 winners from 150 starters who earned $6,187,149.
