New Zealand's Cambridge Stud has unveiled its 2024 stallion service fees following the introduction of a new world-class addition to their lineup. The partnership with Juddmonte Farms brings the multiple Group 1-performed champion Chaldean (Frankel) to the Southern Hemisphere for his first season, priced at $35,000 + GST, with a cap of 120 mares. Almanzor (Wootton Bassett), a triple Group 1 winner, has had a profitable season and his service fee is set at $30,000 + GST. This season he's produced seven stakes winners, with standouts including the Sydney Cup duo Circle Of Fire and Athabascan. CEO Henry Plumptre praises Almanzor’s consistent Group performance and anticipates high demand. Hello Youmzain's service fee is also $30,000 + GST, reflecting his progeny's high sales achievements, including a $425,000 top sale at Karaka. His yearlings have averaged over $171,000 and have shown a 92 percent clearance rate at auctions, indicating high expectations for his 2YOs. Sword Of State, Snitzel’s high class son and a Champion 2YO, will have a service fee of $15,000 + GST. His foals have been well-received, exhibiting all the qualities one has come to expect from the lineage. Finally, Embellish, a son of Savabeel and a Gr1 New Zealand 2000 Guineas winner, has produced six stakes performers from his first crop, including Australian Listed winner Bold Soul. Plumptre notes that despite a modest fee, Embellish stands out with the second-highest number of 3YO winners in New Zealand. His service fee is competitively set at $5,000 + GST.
