Yeomanstown Stud has released its stud fees for next season, with champion sire-elect Dark Angel (Ire) unchanged at €60,000 and this year's G1 July Cup winner Mill Stream (Ire) introduced at €12,500.
It will be the fifth consecutive year that Dark Angel has stood for €60,000 and it follows a stellar season on the racecourse with the likes of Charyn (Ire), who registered three Group 1 successes in the Queen Anne Stakes, Prix Jacques le Marois and Queen Elizabeth II Stakes. Now 19, Dark Angel covered 134 mares earlier this year and is set to end it as Britain and Ireland's champion sire for the first time, with a margin of roughly £365,000 currently separating him from his closest pursuer, Dubawi (Ire).
Mill Stream, a half-brother to the G2 Richmond Stakes hero and sire Asymmetric (Ire), was trained by Jane Chapple-Hyam for owner Peter Harris and retired as the winner of five of his 16 career starts. As a three-year-old he gained his first Group-race victory in the G3 Prix de Meautry, while this year he also won the G2 Duke Of York Stakes and finished third in the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes, before making the breakthrough at the top level at Newmarket.
The Yeomanstown roster is completed by first-season sire Shaman (Ire) and G1 Middle Park Stakes winner Supremacy (Ire), who was represented by his first yearlings at the sales this year. Shaman, the sire of 10 individual two-year-old winners in Europe at the time of writing, including the G3 Sirenia Stakes third Brian (Ire), remains unchanged at €5,000, while the fee for Supremacy has been reduced to €8,000 from the €10,000 he stood for this season.
