Wandering Eyes · November 4, 2024

The sire of 19 stakes winners on four different continents in 2024, Justify (Scat Daddy–Stage Magic, by Ghostzapper) will command a service fee of $250,000 in 2025, the Versailles, Kentucky-based nursery announced Monday. Alongside Into Mischief and Gun Runner, Justify will stand for the joint-highest covering fee in the United States.

The rising 10-year-old stallion is the sire of a trio of Group 1 winners this season, including City of Troy, winner in succession of the G1 Betfred Derby at Epsom, the G1 Coral-Eclipse Stakes at Sandown and an all-the-way success in the prestigious G1 Juddmonte International Stakes at York. His eight American black-type winners this term include GII Appalachian Stakes heroine Buchu and Alpha Bella, victorious in the GII La Prevoyante Stakes. The unbeaten Awesome Result and Yuttitham (Jpn) struck at listed level in Japan, while Storm Boy (Aus) scored for the third time at group level in Australia in August.

Uncle Mo (Indian Charlie) is the farm's other six-figure stallion and will stand for $125,000 in 2025. The 16-year-old sire has been represented by Grade I winners Kingsbarns and Adare Manor, who was to sell at the Fasig-Tipton 'Night of the Stars' on Monday. Uncle Mo has been represented by 14 black-type winners in 2024.

Domestic Product will stand alongside his successful sire Practical Joke beginning in 2025 at a fee of $30,000. Winner of the GI H. Allen Jerkens Stakes, emulating his sire, the son of Goods and Services (Paynter) also won the GIII Lambholm South Tampa Bay Derby going 8 1/2 furlongs around two turns and cut back to one bend to crush by 7 1/2 lengths in the one-mile GIII Dywer Stakes. He was a sound third in Saturday's GI Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile and retires with a record of 4-2-1 from 10 starts and earnings of $819,200.

“Domestic Product is a striking individual,” said Coolmore's Charlie O'Connor. “He was a top-notch racehorse and is by a very good sire in Practical Joke who has enjoyed another great year highlighted by his two new Grade I winners at Saratoga (Ways and Means).

“We feel Domestic Product is extremely well priced at $30,000 and is certain to prove popular with breeders. We were all thrilled with the runs of Sierre Leone and Fierceness in the Breeders' Cup Classic and look forward to them joining the roster in due course.”

Tiz the Law (Constitution), the leading first-crop sire by number of graded winners (two) and overall stakes winners (five), will also stand for $30,000 in 2025.
