A young sire, Sebring has many more years of active stud service ahead of him.
An extremely popular and fertile sire, Sebring has served an average of 189 mares per season in the eight years he has been at stud. His service fee last year (in which he served 185 mares) was $77,000. In 2013, Sebring covered 223 mares and their progeny are currently 2 year olds coming through this racing season.
Sebring is currently a Top Three Sire of 2 year olds and 3 year olds, in addition to sitting comfortably in the Top 10 General Sires by winners and progeny earners.
Sebring has 35 yearlings entered in the upcoming Inglis Easter Yearling Sale. His yearlings have fetched up to $730,000 this year and this price is expected to be surpassed at Easter.
The lifetime share entitles the owner to two services per season for the stud life of Sebring in accordance with the Stallion Agreement.
The owner is also entitled to dividends if applicable.
