What kind of stud deal could Animal Kingdom fetch?

Probably not that desirable to American breeders but a win in the Preakness could change all that. Anytime a horse with obvious turf breeding steps up and wins a grade one on dirt folks take notice but he needs to show it wasn't a one time deal. A win in the Preakness and his stud fee will soar.

Beyond doubtful.

Time will tell, useless to debate this now. Animal Kingdom has just won the Derby, now will he continue on? As a side note, as of 2009, Leroidesanimaux stood for $17,500.

It's more likely that Animal Kingdom will be sold for several millions to take a run at the Dubai World Cup than he would command a stud deal at that same level in the US.

Yes, Irwin has a Chechnyan maniac who has probably already lined it up.

But no one has probably made better deals than the Halls (Sweet Ducky, Westside Bernie, Atomic Rain). At least Animal Kingdom is an accomplished horse.

They held onto Pants on Fire though. Should send him packing

Anybody could have sent a mare to Leroidesanimaux for $10k as late as Friday.

I get that Leroidesanimaux may be throwing some dirt horses. I even accept that. But what in tarnation in Animal Kingdom's bottom half is dirt pedigree? Honest question.

Interesting! As I posted earlier stud registry had him at $17,500 in 2009 but farm has him at $10,000 for 2011, quite a decrease, we'll see what effect Animal Kingdom has on same.

No one pays retail on horses at that level of stud fee.
