Just a few days after Stuart Janney III announced that his homebred Ironicus was being retired to stand at Claiborne Farm in Kentucky, he announced that Ironicus’s half-brother Norumbega was being retired to stand at Bonita Farm in Darlington, Md., in 2017 for a fee of $3,000.

One of the highlights of the ongoing Keeneland November sale has been the nine-horse Phipps Stable reduction consignment, with Claiborne Farm as agent.

The fourth highest-priced mare of that group was Satisfaction, a winning half-sister by Awesome Again to Grade 1 winner Dancing Forever, by Rahy, who was purchased for $310,000 by Roger Long. But the reason that breeders value mares from Phipps families so highly was demonstrated yet again in Saturday’s Grade 3 Red Smith Handicap at Aqueduct, won by Bigger Picture, who shares his fourth dam, Lady Pitt, with Satisfaction.

Frankel will stand the 2017 breeding season for the same fee as in 2016, but due to the decline in the pound after the Brexit vote, breeders paying in U.S. dollars would be getting a 17.7 percent discount compared with this year.

Banstead Manor Stud in Newmarket, England, announced Frankel’s fee in 2017 will remain at 125,000 pounds, the same as his first four years at stud. In U.S. dollars, his fee is falling from $190,096 at the start of 2016 to $156,510 today.

Runhappy, the champion sprinter of 2015, has been retired from racing and will debut at stud in 2017 at Claiborne Farm in Paris, Ky., for an advertised fee of $25,000.

A 4-year-old son of Super Saver, Runhappy finished his career with 7 wins in 10 starts for earnings of $1,496,250 racing for owner Jim McIngvale.

Calumet Farm announced fees for its stallions, and in doing so indicated it will have four new stallions for the 2017 breeding season. Big Blue Kitten, War Correspondent, Slumber, and Optimizer all will be standing their first season at stud in 2017 at the Lexington, Ky., farm.

Highest-priced stallion on the Calumet roster for 2017 is English Channel, at $25,000, the same fee as in 2016.

Tapit, North America's two-time reigning leading sire, will stand for a fee of $300,000 in 2017, again making him the most-expensive stallion on the continent.

The 15-year-old son of Pulpit stands at Gainesway Farm in Lexington, Ky., and has maintained this $300,000 fee since 2015, covering books of 148 and 125 mares in the last two seasons, according to The Jockey Club's Report of Mares Bred. He is followed atop North America's most-expensive sires by War Front, who will command a fee of $250,000 in 2017 at Claiborne Farm.

Hit It a Bomb, winner of the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf, has been retired from racing and will debut at stud in 2017 at Spendthrift Farm in Lexington, Ky.

The 3-year-old son of War Front will stand for a fee of $8,500 under the farm’s Share the Upside program, in which breeders would earn a lifetime breeding right beginning in 2019 after having two live foals and paying the stud fees. He will stand for $7,000 under a standard stands and nurses contract.

Ironicus, one of the best middle-distance turf runners in North America the past two years, has been retired and will stand the 2017 breeding season at Claiborne Farm in Paris, Ky. The 5-year-old son of Distorted Humor out of Meghan’s Joy, by A.P. Indy, will stand for a fee of $7,500.

In 2015 and 2016, Ironicus won five of 10 starts, with four seconds, winning three graded stakes and placing in three graded stakes. His only off-the-board finish the last two years was in his last career start, finishing fourth in the Breeders’ Cup Mile, beaten two lengths.

Haynesfield, who has two crops of racing age, has moved from Kentucky to California for the 2017 breeding season. The son of Speightstown will stand at Rancho San Miguel in San Miguel, Calif., as the property of Climax Stallions for a fee of $5,000. Climax Stallions is a partnership of Bob and Sean Feld.

Haynesfield stood at Airdrie Stud since 2012 after a racing career that saw him win 10 of 19 starts, including the 2010, Grade 1 Jockey Club Gold Cup, and earn $1.3 million.

Jeranimo has moved to Harris Farms in Coalinga, Calif., for the 2017 breeding season. He will stand for $2,500.

The son of Congaree had stood his first two seasons at stud at Tommy Town Thoroughbreds in Santa Ynez, the most recent season for $2,500.  He has seven yearlings in his first crop and he was bred to nine mares this past season, according to the Report of Mares bred recently released by The Jockey Club.

Jeranimo, winner of two Grade 1 races and an earner of $1.5 million, won 11 of 40 career starts from ages 3 to 8 while racing on the West Coast.
