Exactly either he has him confused with someone else or he just does not know. But Seattle if you need a little help remembering,

Seattle you are a disgrace.

Its been my experience that once a stallion reaches a certain age or has had some physical ailments that could *possibly* hamper the number of mares he could breed, stud fees are often listed as private.

He had some issues last year in the shed and didnt cover his usual number. My guess is, he'll probably see mostly mares of shareholders and a few select outside mares.

Thanks for answering, Balletto-- and Scav, thank you for asking the question-- I had been wondering exactly the same thing when I read that about Kingmambo last night.

Kingmambo had big arthritis problems last year and they had to take him off stud for awhile. The article I read said it was from repeated mountings putting stress on his back and neck. I remember thinking, "Who knew getting so much tail could cause such long-term damage?"

No private fee though. I book to quality mares for the sport.
