These stallions should offer plenty of commercial appeal and the ability to
breed Group I winners, albeit without the razzle dazzle of the elite stallions
priced beyond the means of most broodmare owners. Often breeders shopping in this price bracket are looking for the up and comer, the horse with potential upside that might elevate him far beyond the middle market.
The most popular middle market sires last year fit that profile in Rubick and Deep Field, who have both done enough with their first two year-olds to give confidence to their supporters.
Below are all the horses priced between $16,500 and $29,700 that covered 100 or more mares in 2018.
