On a side note with Maria's Mon... Pin Oak did something admirable and is giving anyone who has bred to Maria's Mon in the last two years first dibs at sending the same mare to him at a discounted fee... customer loyalty is very important to them which is nice.

And for the record, Love Maria's Mon. Tried to send my stakes winner to him and she was accepted but the new fee is just too much. :(

There is a really great article here on 2007 Stud fees and the market in general:

Obscure with limited 1st year offspring ,I ear mark Gibson County,Not very many but a nice ratio to winners at a very reasonable cost and less than proven matings.

Favorite of All-Time: Mr. Prospector
Favorite Currently: Awesome Again. He's not quite on that hot streak like he was a few years ago when he was the daddy of 2 BC winners in a year, but he's still solid.
Most Under the Radar sire- Close to my Canterbury cheap claiming heart, the South African bred Wolf Power
