Rathbarry Stud has announced the 2026 fees for its four stallions, with the newcomer Unquestionable, successful in the 2023 edition of the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf, being introduced at €10,000.
The son of the late Wootton Bassett is joined at Rathbarry by the multiple top-level winner State Of Rest, whose first yearlings have sold for up to 300,000gns. State Of Rest has had his fee reduced to €15,000 (from €20,000), while Kodi Bear, the sire of this year's unbeaten G2 Gimcrack Stakes scorer Lifeplan, has been clipped from €15,000 into €12,500. The roster is completed by the G3 Prix de Meautry winner Bouttemont, who remains at a fee of €5,000 ahead of his first foals being sold in the coming weeks.
A press release from the County Cork-based operation added, “In announcing the above fees, Rathbarry Stud feel that, in response to an uncertain market, the stallion fees represent value for money for high-quality stallions.”
