Golden Horn, the sire of this year's dual Group 1-winning stayer Trawlerman and Champion Hurdle heroine Golden Ace, will stand for the unchanged fee of £10,000 at Overbury Stud in 2026.
“Golden Horn has had an impressive year under both codes. To sire winners of the Champion Hurdle, Triumph Hurdle and the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot within a few months is simply exceptional, and his 15% stakes horses to runners ratio on the Flat is outstanding,” said the stallion's owner, Jayne McGivern.
“Golden Horn has every right to command a higher fee next year, especially as he is consistently over-subscribed, but I am mindful of the choices breeders have and would rather support breeders by continuing to offer him as the best value available. I am so pleased to be able to thank all of his supporters by holding his fee for a further year at £10,000. It is especially gratifying to note that he already has many mares already booked for 2026 and that Flat breeders are returning in significant numbers.”
Elsewhere on the Overbury Stud roster, Ardad has had his fee reduced to £7,500 (from £12,500), having sired 36 individual two-year-old winners in 2025, more than any other stallion in Britain and behind only Wootton Bassett and Mehmas in Europe.
“Ardad is getting exactly what so many breeders, trainers and owners want: horses that get going early and provide lots of terrific sport,” said Overbury manager Simon Sweeting. “His best price for a yearling in 2025 was 180,000gns and he's a very reliable sire of £35k-£40k yearlings. It's a competitive market and we think he's several lengths ahead of his field, especially at his new fee.”
Meanwhile, Caturra, who will be represented by his first juvenile runners in 2026, will stand at £5,000 for the third consecutive year, while the fees for the three National Hunt stallions on the roster also remain unchanged. Jack Hobbs will once again command a fee of £4,000, with Frontiersman and Schiaparelli both at £2,000.
