Sunrise Stallions will stand its leading New York sires Big Brown (Boundary) and Frost Giant (Giant's Causeway) for $7,500 and $5,000, respectively, in 2017, it was announced Monday. GI Kentucky Derby and GI Preakness S. hero Big Brown is the sire of Grade I-placed Kiss to Remember, winner of the GII Chilukki S. Nov. 5 prior to her recent sale for $500,000 at Fasig-Tipton November, as well as multiple Grade I winner Dortmund. His progeny have earned over $3.28 million in 2016. Meanwhile, Frost Giant leads all Empire State sires with 13 juvenile winners in 2016.
“Both Big Brown and Frost Giant have proved they can sire top runners who can earn New York breeders substantial returns on their investment through New York's nationally leading breeding incentive program,” said Sunrise Stallions business manager Eric Bishop. “We want to encourage breeders to take part in New York's extremely attractive program by offering our stallions at exceptionally competitive fees.”
Sunrise will also offer Frost Giant's full-brother, Heavy Breathing (Giant's Causeway), for a fee of $2,500, with his first crop of runners due to begin racing in the new year. Heavy Breathing stands alongside Big Brown at Dutchess Views Farm in Pine Plains, while Frost Giant stands at Keane Stud in Amenia. For more information, visit the Sunrise Stallions website.
