John Sikura’s Hill ‘n’ Dale Farms, located near Lexington, has announced that Stormy Atlantic  ’s 2009 stud fee will remain the same at $45,000.

“Our objective is always to stay true to our philosophy with all of our stallions, which is to provide the best value in the stallion business,” Sikura said. “We have set our fees for 2009 with the current economic climate in mind and believe our current roster affords breeders a strong opportunity to be successful. We had a lot of pressure to raise Stormy Atlantic's stud fee with the great year he is having, but decided to remain at $45,000.”

Stormy Atlantic ranks ninth on this year’s leading sires list.
