Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 9, 2018 Journalists Share Posted October 9, 2018 Lane’s End’s Quality Road (Elusive Quality), who ranks among the nation’s leading general sires in 2018, will see his stud fee raised from $70,000 to $150,000 in 2019, topping the storied farm’s stallion roster for the coming year. On the heels of a wildly successful 2018, topped by Grade I winners Abel Tasman, Bellafina, City of Light, Salty and Spring Quality, Quality Road enters his ninth year at stud in 2019. Bellafina and Abel Tasman have won a pair of Grade Is each, with the former considered a leading contender for the GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies after notching three straight graded stakes scores, including the GI Del Mar Debutante Sept. 1 and the GI Chandelier S. Sept. 29. The sire has shown dual-surface prowess, with Spring Quality scoring at the highest level on turf in the GI Manhattan S. In total, Quality Road has sired nine individual Grade I winners from five crops. The Lane’s End roster is complimented by the presence of Candy Ride (Arg) (Ride the Rails), whose fee will remain at $80,000 in 2019. Union Rags (Dixie Union) will be available for $60,000, while the popular Honor Code (A.P. Indy) will stand for $40,000 in his fourth year at stud. 2019 also marks the return of The Factor (War Front), who returns from a stint in Japan to stand for a fee of $15,000.
