Hill 'n' Dale has announced its fees for the 2026 breeding season

Two time Horse of the Year Curlin, one of the most preeminent sires at stud today, leads the farm roster for 2026. The only stallion to have sired 3 Breeders' Cup winners on the same day and the only stallion to sire 4 Eclipse Champions in the same year will stand for a fee of $225,000 LFSN. Curlin's Champion son,Good Magic, the sire of first crop Classic Winner Mage, winner of the Kentucky Derby (G1) and Belmont Stakes winner Dornoch in his second crop, will remain unchanged with his stud fee set at $125,000 LFSN. Good Magic's yearlings were exceptionally well received at auction with four of his yearlings selling for $1 million or more. Army Mule’s fee will return to $25,000. Army Mule, the sire of 2yo filly Ground Support, who recently went gate to wire to win the Grade 2, $200,000 Miss Grillo Stakes at Aqueduct will make her next start in the $1 million Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf. Arabian Knight, a Grade 1 winner by Uncle Mo, was the most popular horse ever to retire to Hill 'n' Dale. His stud fee will remain at $30,000 LFSN. Charlatan's fee will be determined at a later date.

"Our goal has always been to offer the best stallion value in the breeding business," said Hill 'n' Dale at Xalapa Farm owner John Sikura.
