just ask alysheba....
i honestly don't know that it adds a whole lot as far as stud fee, most fees are announced by the time the awards come out. seems initial fees are set by hype, races won, and pedigree of the horse, but mostly by demand....i don't think GZ went from starting at a lower fee to 200k because he won HOY.
i'd imagine it's just a fun thing to win, but in the grand scheme of things, it only means you'll be listed in a record books somewhere, and someone has an extra trophy to dust.
