War Front Service Fee Reduced

Tara Madgwick - Friday October 16

Kentucky based Claiborne Farm have announced stud fees for 2021 with reductions for a number of their sires including War Front.

Among 13 stallions, War Front leads the roster with a $150,000 ($A211,74) stud fee, reduced from $250,000 during this year's breeding season.
 



The champion son of Danzig and emerging sire of sires is currently North America's leading active sire by percentage of lifetime black-type winners at 15 per cent.

In 2020, War Front has added two new Group 1 winners to his record, bringing his lifetime total to 22, the most of any active stallion in North America behind only Tapit with 27.

War Front has had his fee reduced for 2021

His sire sons at stud include Declaration of War, who sired last year’s Melbourne Cup winner Vow and Declare.

Young high profile sons of War Front at stud in Australasia this season are Omaha Beach (USA) for Spendthrift Australia and US Navy Flag (USA) in New Zealand for Valachi Downs.
