Showcasing (GB), whose three-time Group 1-winning son Advertise (GB) was on Friday announced as retired to the National Stud, will stay at a fee of £55,000 in 2020 at Whitsbury Manor Stud. Ed Harper, director of Whitsbury Manor Stud, said, “This reflects another fantastic year on the track headlined by his son Advertise winning both the Commonwealth Cup and Prix Maurice de Gheest.”
Due Diligence (War Front) has supplied three individual stakes winners, including group winners Good Vibes (GB) and Streamline (GB), from his first crop this year and he is up to £8,500.
“We have really enjoyed watching his first runners all season from the first 2-year-old stakes winner in May to adding two group wins at the end of the season,” Harper said. “However, we very much want to keep him affordable to everyone as there are so few affordable proven sires available.”
Group 1-winning sprinter Havana Grey (Havana Gold) will stand his second season for £6,500 after covering a full book of 145 mares last year, while Adaay (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}), whose first yearlings sold for up to £210,000 this year, remains at £5,000.
