Fee for Equinox Announced

Mark Smith - Thursday Dec 7

Shadai Stallion Station has announced the fee for Equinox in 2024.

The Japan Cup hero will stand for ¥20,000,000 (A$210,000), equal to his sire Kitasan Black, whose fee has doubled from 2023. The son of Black Tide began his stud career at Shadai in 2018 for a fee of ¥5,000,000.

The book's full sign is already up for Equinox, Efforia, Contrail, and Schnell Meister.

This year's leading first crop sire, Suave Richard, has earned a whopping increase from ¥3,000,000 in 2023 to ¥15,000,000.
