Airdrie Stud will raise stud fees on two of its 11 stallions next year, the Midway, Ky., farm announced Tuesday.
Proud Citizen and Badge of Silver will both get fee raises, but the farm’s other sires will remain at their 2011 levels. Proud Citizen, sire of 2012 Kentucky Oaks winner Believe You Can and Grade 2 winners Mark Valeski and Vamo a Galupiar, goes from $10,000 to $15,000 for 2013. Badge of Silver – whose 2012 runners include multiple graded winner Silver Max, graded winner Silver Medallion, and Super Derby runner-up Fly Lexis Fly – rises from $6,000 to $7,500.
