Off an outstanding season with their juveniles last year, Into Mischief and Dialed In were the two most active stallions in North America in 2017, The Jockey Club announced Wednesday.

All-time great racehorses almost always make very good sires. Among what are generally considered the six greatest racehorses of the 20^th century in Europe and America - Man o’ War, Citation, and Secretariat in America, and Nearco, Ribot, and Sea-Bird in Europe - only one can be judged a failure.

Valor Farm in Pilot Point, Texas released the advertised fees for its 2018 stallion roster, topped by the state’s perennial leading sire Too Much Bling at $6,500.

Too Much Bling, a son of Rubiano, saw his fee increase from $4,500 during the most recent breeding season. He has led all Texas sires by progeny earnings each season from 2012 to 2016, and is represented this year by Puerto Rican Group 2 winner Too Much Tip and U.S. stakes winners Prada’s Bling, Rumpole, and Ruby Rumba.

Lane’s End in Versailles, Ky., has released the advertised fees for the bulk of its 2018 stallion roster, including Grade 1 winner Connect, who will debut at $20,000.

Connect, a son of Curlin, is one of two debuting stallions on the Lane’s End roster for the coming season, joined by Unified, a Candy Ride colt who will stand for $10,000.

Fees for three of the farm’s most notable residents – Candy Ride, Quality Road, and Union Rags – will be announced at a later time, pending the results of the Breeders’ Cup.

Taylor Made Stallions in Nicholasville, Ky., revealed its 2018 stud fees, led by two-time Horse of the Year California Chrome at $40,000. The son of Lucky Pulpit stood for the same advertised fee during his debut season in 2017. His first foals will arrive in 2018.

Debuting at Taylor Made for the 2018 season is Midnight Storm, a Grade 1-winning son of Pioneerof the Nile who will stand for $12,500.

Multiple Grade 1 winner Lord Nelson will debut at stud for Spendthrift Farm in 2018 after missing what would have been his first breeding season due to laminitis.

The son of Pulpit will debut for an advertised fee of $25,000, Spendthrift announced as it revealed next season’s stallion lineup and fees Sunday night.

Darby Dan Farm released its advertised stud fees for the 2018 breeding season, led by Dialed In at $25,000.

Dialed In, a son of Mineshaft, will see an increase from the 2017 season, when he stood for $15,000. He was North America’s leading freshman sire of 2016, and followed it up this year with Grade 2 winner and Breeders’ Cup Classic hopeful Gunnevera, as well as Grade 3 winner and Breeders’ Cup Juvenile hopeful The Tabulator and Grade 2-placed Chalon.

Dortmund, a multiple Grade 1 winner, has been retired from racing and will stand the 2018 breeding season at Bonita Farm in Darlington, Md., for an advertised fee of $7,500.

The 5-year-old son of Big Brown finished with eight wins in 16 starts for earnings of $1,987,505. He was initially retired in April after a brief 2017 campaign but returned to training in July. However, the horse never raced during his attempted comeback.

The majority of the stud fees for the young Three Chimneys Farm stallion roster are unchanged for 2018, the farm announced Thursday.

Champion Will Take Charge, whose first foals are yearlings this year, is the most expensive stallion on the roster of six, with his fee remaining at $30,000. The son of Unbridled's Song is averaging a solid $177,103 from his 58 yearlings sold this season, including a colt who fetched $975,000 at the Keeneland September yearling sale.

Effinex, a Grade 1 winner and young New York stallion, died Wednesday in his stall of a pulmonary aneurysm at McMahon of Saratoga Thoroughbreds in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., according to his breeder, Dr. Russell Cohen.

The 7-year-old son of Mineshaft had recently relocated to McMahon of Saratoga after standing his first season at Questroyal North in Stillwater, N.Y. this spring for an advertised fee of $10,000.

Effinex raced as a homebred for Cohen, who is racing manager of his mother’s Tri-Bone Stables, and Jimmy Jerkens trained the horse for most of his career.
