For more than 40 years, the various Coolmore partnerships headed by John Magnier have consistently tried to purchase what they consider to be the best horse at whatever auction they attend.

The Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance has awarded accreditation to 19 equine aftercare organizations, bringing the total number of accredited organizations to 42, with more than 120 facilities throughout North America.

Accredited organizations may apply for grants annually from the TAA to go toward care of retired Thoroughbreds. The grant amounts are based on a comprehensive review and allocation process by the TAA grants committee and require approval from the TAA board of directors. An announcement regarding 2015 grants will be made in December.

Millennium Farms in Lexington, Ky., has released the advertised fees for its five-horse stallion roster for the 2015 breeding season.

Leading the group is Even the Score, who will stand for a $10,000 during the upcoming season. The fee for the 16-year-old son of Unbridled’s Song remains unchanged from 2014.

The fees for Millennium’s other two returning stallions will also stay the same, with Giant Oak standing for $7,500 and Student Council standing for $5,000.

Grade 2 winner and young sire Salute the Sarge will relocate to stand the 2015 breeding season at E.A. Ranches in Ramona, Calif., for an advertised fee of $1,000, which will be waived for approved mares.

Canadian champion and classic winner Eye of the Leopard will return to his home country to stand the 2015 breeding season at Colebrook Farms in Uxbridge, Ontario.

Experienced breeders know that the best place to acquire broodmares and broodmare prospects is from other great breeders. Thus, when hotelier Edward A. Seltzer and John R. Gaines purchased the 19-year-old mare Dance Review, by Northern Dancer, for $110,000 from the dispersal of the late Thomas Mellon Evans’s Buckland Farm in 1997, they knew exactly what they were doing.

Stallions Pomeroy and Flashy Bull have been purchased by Saudi Arabian-based Aysoob Stud Farm, and will stand at Suliman ibn Zu’air Stud Farm in the same country during the 2015 breeding season.

Pomeroy, a 13-year-old son of Boundary, previously stood at Rockridge Stud in Hudson, N.Y., while Flashy Bull, an 11-year-old Holy Bull horse, resided at Penn Ridge Farm in Harrisburg, Penn.

“We are excited to add two such accomplished stallions to our roster and think they will be embraced by our breeders,” said Abdulaziz Albarjes, owner of Aysoob Stud Farm.

Country Side, believed to be the oldest living stallion by Secretariat, died Aug. 26 at Diamond J Farms in Needville, Texas, at the age of 29.

Country Side won 2 of 24 starts racing in the U.S. and France from 1987 to 1990, earning $26,232. Following his retirement from the track, the horse was sent to a California farm, which Diamond J owners Joycelyn and Jeff Kasmir visited in 1996. The couple purchased Country Side as a wedding present to each other, and sent him to stand at their Texas farm.

Grade 2 winner Aikenite will relocate to John and Leslie Malone’s Bridlewood Farm in Ocala, Fla., for the 2015 breeding season.

The 7-year-old son of Yes It’s True stood his first two seasons at Calumet Farm in Lexington, Ky. His first foals will be yearlings of 2015.

Aikenite won five of 24 starts during his on-track career for earnings of $875,385, highlighted by victories in the Grade 2 Churchill Downs Stakes and Commonwealth Stakes. His six additional graded placings include the Grade 1 Breeders’ Futurity, Hopeful Stakes, and Forego Stakes.

Rockridge Stud in Hudson, N.Y., has released the advertised 2015 fees for its six-horse stallion roster.

All other fees for the returning Rockridge stallions will be unchanged from 2014.

New to the roster for 2015 is Honorable Dillon, a 4-year-old Grade 2-winning son of Tapit, who will stand his debut season for a fee of $5,000.
