parading stud fee too high

The US-based first-year sires for next year is a below average. The foreign line-up (Sea the Stars etc.) is stronger. When there's a weak line-up you can take a shot with some of them at a higher stud fee.

What does European market have to do with Ky? How many mares get sent from the US to Europe to be bred? Maybe some of the Euro mares that raced here and perhaps a few were owners race on both continient but other then that who ships for stud service?

I was just using that as a point to say the first-year sire line-up is not completely dead across the board worldwide. There is no significant correlation.

Because the market is so bad, maybe we'll see more horses stay in training. If so, I'm not shocked that it's a poor bunch entering stud this year.
