Stratosphere to Stand at $6,600

Media Release - Monday August 12

Grenville Stud is pleased to announce that Stratosphere will be standing the 2024 breeding season at $6,600 inc GST.

Stratosphere has had his fee reduced slightly to $6,600.

"We are aware of the current challenging economic climate we are in and have set Stratosphere's fee for the upcoming season with this in mind.

It is important for us that breeders get a return on their investment whether that be in the sale ring or on the racetrack and we know breeders can achieve this with Stratosphere." - Bart McCulloch

Stratosphere is doing an outstanding job when you look at his statistics. His first crop which has had just 32 runners has produced 3 stakes performers, over $1.2m in progeny earnings and he is going at 62.5% winners to runners with this first crop which have just completed their 3YO season.

"For Stratosphere to be running at 62.5% winners/runners with his oldest crop just completing their 3YO season is phenomenal and he is going to end up having an elite winners/runners percentage as his progeny get older. This winners/runners percentage is already ahead of previous leading Tasmanian Sires West Quest, Savoire Vivre, Needs Further & Wordsmith" Bart McCulloch stated.
 

Stratosphere's progeny continued to be exceptionally well received in the sales ring this year and he has proven his ability to consistently upgrade his mares.

Stratosphere covered his biggest and best book last season and it would be a smart play to be supporting him this season on the back of the quality book of mares he received last season.
