Richland Hills Releases 2009 Stud Fees

Richland Hills has announced its stud fees for the 2009 breeding season at the Midway, Ky., location. Purim, the only son of Dynaformer at stud in Kentucky, will stand for a $10,000 fee.

Out of the Lord At War mare Kirsteena, Purim is a six-time stakes winner on the dirt and turf, including the Shadwell Turf Mile (gr. IT) and the Arlington Classic (gr. IIIT), for lifetime earnings of $928,543. Purim was booked full in 2008, his first year at stud.

“We are proud of our roster of young stallions,” Richland Hills president Nathan Fox said in a news release. “Purim bred a full book this year and is sure to see high demand in 2009, and Sightseeing is a very exciting son of Pulpit who competed well against the best crop in recent years. Star Dabbler's foals are getting rave reviews from their breeders, and Storm Surge and Cougar Cat are promising sons of Storm Cat. We have priced them all competitively for the market and look forward to offering them to breeders in 2009.”

Terms for all Richland Hills stallions are fees payable Nov. 1 of year bred.
