Newsells Park Stud has announced 'No Risk Terms' in 2026 for two of its young stallions, A'Ali and Isaac Shelby, with breeders only paying the nomination fee for each sire when their resulting foal is sold at public auction.
In the event that the sale price achieved is less than twice the nomination fee, the proceeds will be shared 50/50 between the breeder and Newsells Park Stud, meaning the fee payable may be less than the full nomination fee. Should the sale proceeds exceed twice the nomination fee, the mare owner retains any additional funds.
Gary Coffey, Newsells Park Stud racing and nominations manager, said, “Given the current economic climate, we are keen to reduce risk for breeders and to align ourselves more closely with their ongoing concerns. These 'No Risk Terms' ensure the nomination fees reflects the market, while still allowing breeders to retain the full upside when the offspring sell well.”
The 2026 nomination fee for the multiple Group winner Isaac Shelby, the only son of Night Of Thunder at stud in Europe, is £7,000. A'Ali, who was responsible for 13 individual two-year-olds winners in Europe last year from his first crop, stands for £5,000.
If breeders do not intend to sell the progeny by these sires, the terms will remain as 1st October SLF.
