The 15-year-old stallion, who stands at Three Chimneys Farm near Midway, Ky., stood for an advertised fee of $40,000 in 2000.Rahy (Blushing Groom--Glorious Song, by Halo) is represented by 14 stakes winners on the year from 19 added-money runners, tops in both categories for North American sires. Man O' War (gr. IT) winner Fantastic Light is Rahy's leading money earner on the year.
