That was the season where his neck became an issue. I believe he was booked to about 150 mares for that season and only got to 37 based on his neck. When you book to 150 and people are paying $300k, you tend to be a little less choosy.

From now on, I would expect his rate to be higher from much smaller books. This is also the reason his fee is now private. They will discount for a good pedigree match with proven reproductive health.
