Coolmore has announced European stud fees for the 2027 breeding season, led once again by multiple Champion 2YO Sire No Nay Never at €120,000.
The established ranks, which include Camelot (€60,000) and Starspangledbanner (€75,000), are bolstered by two highly anticipated new additions that include record-breaking Classic winner and Cartier Champion Two-Year-Old Gstaad, who will stand alongside his sire Starspangledbanner at a fee of €25,000.
Much missed Wootton Bassett will also have a new son at stud in dual Group 1-winning Champion Two-Year-Old Puerto Rico, priced at €12,500.
Sioux Nation has had a big increase rising from €37,500 to €75,000 as a result of his stellar crop of 2YOs that has produced 46 individual winners highlighted by six SWs with champion filly Sun Goddess the standout.
Currently in Australia, City of Troy remains at €60,000 with his first Euro yearlings selling in 2027 and St Mark’s Basilica, who has had G1 winners in both hemispheres this year, is also unchanged at €40,000.
Commenting on the 2027 roster, Coolmore’s Mark Byrne said: "It has been an exceptional 2026 season on the track for our stallions. No Nay Never continues to set the standard for top-class two-year-olds who train on to become Classic horses; and it has been fantastic to see the continued ascent of Sioux Nation and the early success of St Mark’s Basilica. We are fully aware of how challenging the current market can be for breeders, so we have worked extremely hard to ensure real value across the roster.
"We are also delighted to retire two very high-class horses this year," Byrne continued. "Gstaad is a record-breaking Classic winner who earned a Timeform rating of 126, which tells you everything about his ability. With Puerto Rico, breeders are getting an unbelievably well-bred horse who was actually a better two-year-old than his sire, Wootton Bassett. It's a roster with huge depth, and we look forward to welcoming you all to the farms over the coming weeks."
The 2027 season will also see the retirement of stalwarts Holy Roman Emperor and Footstepsinthesand, two veteran sires that both shuttled to Australia earlier in their careers.
"They have both been magnificent servants to Coolmore and to breeders globally over very long careers," added Paddy Fleming. "They are in great form, but we felt the time was right for them to step back. They will enjoy long and well-deserved retirements here at the farm."
